ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines various ways targeted persons can recover from being bullied. Managing personal health should take priority through responsive physical and mental care. In addition, gaining varied expert knowledge and documenting the negative behavioral encounters resonates with academics who, when conducting their research, systematically ask questions, observe behavior, survey others, and gather data trying to problem-solve. These approaches can easily be useful tools that become effective strategies in helping targets recover from the effects of bullying and mobbing. The recovery process should entail three phases: realizing, repairing, and restoring. Targets need to evaluate the extent of their personal agency in order to be able to deal with and overcome being bullied. Without this, the less powerful target stands defenseless at the mercy of the more powerful bully. Having targets and bystanders/witnesses construct a narrative of their experiences with the bully/mob may contribute to their personal agency, mutual advocacy, and voice.
