Silent Struggles: Identifying Mental Abuse in the Workplace
Silent Struggles takes readers on a deeply personal journey through the often unseen and unspoken realities of workplace abuse and mental stress. Drawing from real life experiences from previous roles, the toxic dynamics and systemic pressures that can permeate corporate environments are exposed, leading to burnout, emotional trauma, and long-lasting psychological scars.
This narrative uncovers the layers of silence that often surround workplace abuse—where high-performance expectations and unrelenting pressure create a breeding ground for manipulation, bullying, and fear. Silent Struggles sheds light on the emotional toll these experiences take, not only on the individual but also on their family, health, and overall well-being.
The aim is to to raise awareness and foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of mental stress in the workplace. The book offers insight, hope, and practical advice for those who may be navigating similar challenges, encouraging them to recognize the signs, seek help, and prioritize their mental health.
