Remembering Andrea Adams' kind letter and words of support just after my own breakdown, I sent each caller a package of information to help them turn the corner in their experience. The three worst affected sectors seem to be teaching, nursing and social workers - the caring professions. As no publisher would touch it, I typeset and published it myself under the imprint Success Unlimited. Diana Lamplugh OBE kindly wrote a foreword. The book has sold over 5000 copies and has been reprinted twice.
Feedback is phenomenal.
From my experience and from talking to over 4000 people in similar situations, I estimate it takes between 2-5 years to effect recovery, and only if one has support. Some people never fully recover from such an abusive experience. Physically I may never recover fully. Interest from the media has increased steadily and on average someone from the media contacts me every day. David has updated the book to include a chapter on PTSD caused by bullying.
