Exercise 5: what could you have controlled, and not controlled? If it is not too painful, in a quiet moment, take the time (and you may want to repeat this exercise, like the others): • to write down all the incidents you can remember in the mobbing, right back to the start, from when you first began to become aware that something was wrong. • Ask yourself in each case whether you could control what happened in this instance. Be brutally honest. Since all mobbings start in a perceived or real conflict (Chapter One), you may have in the past said or done things which were knowingly provocative, and which others might have taken offence at. • But also, be brutally honest about how much of all of this was beyond your control. Ask yourself in each case, did you wish this? And if it happened to a colleague, would you think it fair and reasonable, even allowing for whatever you may have done before the mobbing started? • Every time you register that something was not in your control, practice forgiving yourself and “letting go” any shame or guilt you might feel about that incident. • If you did nothing to provoke it, and did not wish it, it was not up to you. You should not therefore take blame for it or feel bad about it. It’s “the bullies’ bad”, not yours.
