I still have a trauma response from the abuse I endured at the hands of my last "manager". I truly thought I forgot how to speak publicly and even enrolled in ToastMasters. Turns out, after being away from the abuse for almost 7 months, I have no issues with public speaking, it was a temporary glitch caused by being yelled at, screamed at, devalued and abused. I hadn't seen such awful behavior in anyone in over 40 years as I did in this person. HR is there for the company as a whole, not necessarily the employees. The entire team was threatened by him and going to HR or management WAS NOT an option at all. It came down to dysfunctional leadership at the deepest levels. Here's to healing!
Been there. Have the scars to prove it. I hope you're healing.
sorry you have been there too. I am, back at you.

I am so sorry you experienced that, how awful. Glad you found your voice again!
