‘In conversation with...’ with Jennifer Fraser, author of The Bullied Brain: Heal your scars and restore your health, and David Bovis, founder of Duxinaroe.
Why do we say we have zero tolerance for bullying, but allow it to run rife in society? Because the injuries that all forms of bullying and abuse cause to the brain are invisible. We ignore them, we fail to heal them, and they become cyclical and systemic.
Bullying and abuse are the source of much misery in our lives. Be it workplace bullying, arguments on social media, or knowing that someone we love is the target of a bully, it can have serious negative neurological consequences – for both the bullied and the bully.
We are not taught about how the brain works or just how much damage occurs from bullying and abuse. Yet this information is vital if we are to protect ourselves and those we care about.
In this “In Conversation With...”, we meet two individuals who can help us understand the myriad of ways that humans deploy to humiliate one another and ways in which we can protect and heal our brains.
Jennifer Fraser is the author of The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health, a book she researched and wrote after discovering her son was being badly bullied. She holds a phd in comparative literature at the University of Toronto, is an award-winning educator and when not advocating for an end to abuse, she writes thrillers.

David Bovis holds a Masters in Applied Neuroscience and is founder of Duxinaroe, an organisation dedicated to using neuroscience to improve leadership, culture and change. DUXINAROE - Duxinaroe - Home
