Consider replacing the receiver if you are subject to abuse on the telephone.

Say: ‘I don’t believe everything you say’ or ‘I heard that’ to confront verbal abuse.

Take a step backwards if a bully threatens you by standing physically too close to you.

Creating just consequences for the bully to think about will halt their momentum during an attack.

Exercise 3: Altering Your Behaviour at the Time of an Attack

You may now want to re-visit the incident you analysed during exercise 2 on page 121. I’d like you to look at that incident with fresh eyes. Complete the diagram below but this time make a decision about how you would like to handle the dynamics differently and better should a similar incident occur.

Start by completing the middle box. Write down behaviour you would like to use at the time of the attack. What will you do and say? When will you do and say these things? Where will you physically locate yourself when you use this behaviour?

Next, I’d like you to complete the third box to capture a realistic outcome you would like from the attack. How will it end? In what way is this different from the way the real incident ended? What will you do after it has ended?

Lastly, I’d like you to complete the first box, this time writing down A New Perspective about you and your situation at work so that you set yourself up for using the effective behaviour you have detailed in the middle box should you need to.
