The Hypnotic Negativity Forcefield

Start a new role expecting respect, not rejection, rather than pre-empting the worst before you've even begun.

If you've dealt with workplace bullying or passive aggression before, it makes sense that you'd walk into somewhere new already braced for the same thing happening again.

This session guides you towards imagining a force field around yourself, one that dilutes negativity rather than blocking it out completely. Kind words and good intentions pass through fully, while harsh or hurtful ones are filtered down to a fraction of their sting, similar to sunglasses letting light through while cutting most of the glare. It draws on the old story of the Buddha and the unaccepted gift, helping you recognise that words you don't accept still belong to whoever offered them.

This approach was shaped by work with a client who had faced workplace bullying and feared a new role would end badly before it began. The session runs around 28 minutes, and many people find it useful to return to before a difficult day at work.
