    The Effects of Bullying on the Brain

    The Effects of Bullying on the Brain

    Lou and I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Jennifer Fraser, a leading expert in the field of bullying and its profound impact on the brain. Bullying and abusive behavior can wreak havoc on the brains of children and adults. In her book “The Bullied Brain”, Dr Fraser writes about the inner workings of the brain and how bullying impacts our brain and she reveals some evidence based strategies to reverse the damage to bullied brains.

    This one is for everyone … the bullied, the bully and those who have witnessed bullying…this is information we all need to know.

    Listen in as we explore the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and bullying with Dr. Fraser.
