Episode 27 marks the beginning of Season 4: The Art of Workplace Self-Defense—and introduces a hard truth: the strategies most people are told to use when they’re being bullied at work often don’t stop the behavior—and in many cases, make things worse.

In this episode, Dr. Jan Kircher breaks down why documenting, reporting, or leaving can fail to protect you, and what happens when the system doesn’t intervene. Dr. Jan also shares the moment that shifted how she understood workplace bullying—and why she stopped relying on others to step in.

This episode reframes what it means to respond to workplace bullying: not stopping it—but learning how to reduce harm and protect yourself in real time through workplace self-defense.
