I had an overbearing, verbally abusive, controlling, micro-managing and just plain vindictive and mean boss once, so I can relate. I can't say I chose it since so many situations might have brought her into my life and the lives of my crew. I didn't even worry about any of that; I just had to get some relief and I didn't want to quit the job....I wanted her to leave us all alone. I used the Silva/Goldman method. I persisted in going to my meditative level, where I would have an imaginary meeting with her, just the two of us, and I would smile, and keep telling her that we both wanted the exact same thing....the safety of the people in our bank buildings and the protection of the bank's assets. I would tell her that in working together to that end, everything would be good and that I wanted only the best for all concerned. At then end of the pretend meeting I would hug her. I reinforced this nightly for awhile. At first she was around less and less, which gave us all some relief. During a four week period there was only one single confrontation and problem. I kept at it with the imaginary meetings, and after another short period of time she suddenly came to me one morning and stated that she was transferring across country. I was promoted and never had to deal with her again. Work was very pleasant after she left and ran smoothly. When she retired, I went to the party and there were never again any hard feelings between us. I highly recommend this mental exercise for a "problem person" in your professional life. Be persistent. Best wishes!

well those people will have a taste of there own medicine so do not worry they judge you because they are ugly below the surface. but when they knock on the door they will have gnashing of teeth. they can ruin their life do not let that affect you. so experiance and enjoy.

It sounds like you understand that you attracted this boss. Do some EFT tapping on stuff like, "I don't deserve to be treated well," stuff like that. You can use Stingray's manifestation experiment 4 to systematically remove the limiting beliefs, negative emotions, fears, etc... that are attracting the abuse.

On the other hand I quit when I felt this way. You mentioned that quitting would just bring more of the same. That is why I addressed it the way I did. However, I agree with Jai, bullying should not be tollerated. One place that I felt bullied, I told my supervisor and the other person got fired. Then, When I reported another bully, I got fired. The next job I got, I had a weird boss that would criticize everything. I quit for a job that I loved and had attracted by helping people. Blessings,

It depends on what you mean by "abuse".

Anyone who is being harassed or verbally abused needs to know that they did nothing to deserve such treatment, and the abuser should be reported. I think that we cater too much to the abusers in this world.

I guess this is a sore subject for me. I apologize. I was harassed and abused for years by my family. I was also picked on at school, and I doubt that ANY technique would have stopped these abusers. What DID stop them was getting caught and punished. Bullying is a National Problem. It is not something we should encourage people to endure on any level. Call a spade a spade, and a bully a bully.
