Bump It Up -- From Individual to Organizational Responsibility
Mar 04, 2022 Season 2 Episode 3
Dr. Gary Namie

Dr. Maureen Duffy, co-author of Overcoming Mobbing and psychotherapist with extensive experience delivering trauma-informed care to bullied individuals, makes the case for ending the habit of making targets fix situations they did not cause. She invokes famous chef Emeril Lagasse's trademark exhortations -- "Bam!" and "Bump it up a level." Instead of adding flavors to food, Dr. Duffy refers to switching the focus from individuals and their personal traumatic histories to organizations where true responsibility lies. The conversation ends with her explanation of why only trauma-informed mental health professionals can help bullied targets.
