Turning the table on bullies
Print Friendly, PDF & Email

We were lucky enough to watch some interesting animal behaviour on a recent trip to Chestnut Park an otter sanctuary in the Peak District.

The story was that a female otter was being re-introduced to a cage she’d shared with her sister and father. Unfortunately this female had started bullying her sister so was removed for a week, when reunited her sister turned the tables and started picking on her. There was much snarling and growling with the keepers staying close by with two nets in case they needed to separate the sisters.

I believe we all have an inner otter who wants to get revenge on former bullies, to give ex-persecutors a good kick when they’re down.

As people we need to learn to rise above base instincts. This doesn’t mean we need to turn into doormats who repeatedly let ourselves be bullied by the same people, we need to put boundaries in to stop them bullying us, but mustn’t cross the line and become bullies in the process.

Nearly on the verge of divorce

Attending this two-day workshop was a memorable experience.

It helped my marriage at a time when it was nearly on the verge of a divorce.

Alhamdulillah, this is 6 years of a peaceful marriage – been married 18 years now.

The Four Traits of a Cherished Muslimah

Sara’s words penetrate deep

Sara has helped me in so many ways!

By allowing me to feel more empowered, by showing me how to action boundaries,

by helping me to find my self-esteem,

by explaining how other people may be feeling and how to understand this,

by enabling me to do self-care things which are helpful to me.

I began seeing the man I married that very evening.

I came to the session thinking it cant help my marriage that drastically but the effects were instantaneous!

I now have the tools to continue making improvements within my marriage, most importantly changes within myself.

Sara empowered me to set boundaries, and stand up for myself.

She reminded me about my intentions and goals, and in general to have a much happier marriage and life.
