Breaking the Cycle – Understanding the Psychology of Bullying and Abuse
Bullying and abuse—whether in the home or workplace—often share a hidden root: cycles of learned behaviour. In her deeply moving and insightful talk, Natalie Song explores the psychology behind both perpetrators and victims, revealing how past trauma and unhealed experiences perpetuate toxic patterns. Drawing from her own journey of surviving a decade-long abusive marriage and her professional work as a counsellor, Natalie helps audiences recognise the subtle dynamics of power, fear, and control that exist in everyday interactions. With compassion and clarity, she demonstrates that the key to breaking these cycles lies in awareness and choice—understanding that control only exists when it is permitted. Through real-life examples and psychological insights, Natalie invites individuals and organisations alike to build environments grounded in empathy, respect, and emotional safety. Her message is both sobering and empowering: when we heal the bully within, we stop the ripple of harm and begin the ripple of change.KeyNote Topics
