RebuildingMe is about evicting the lies—and restoring the truth of who you are.”Topic BackgroundBullying is no longer confined to schoolyards—its ripple effects can shape identities, destroy self-worth, and follow people into adulthood. Whether emotional, physical, psychological, or cyber-based, bullying leaves scars that can’t always be seen. And surprisingly, even the bully often carries unseen wounds—patterns of pain that they project onto others.This course isn’t just about prevention. It’s about restoration. As an advocate and trauma-informed counselor, Mary has worked with both victims and aggressors, understanding that both sides are often caught in cycles of brokenness. “RebuildingMe” is a call to heal the bullied, transform the bully, and break generational chains of dysfunction.
