Dear Brain, Please Stop
Hey
If you’ve ever blamed yourself after being harassed at work - even a little, even secretly - I made this quick post for you.
Maybe you're thinking:
“If I hadn’t stayed late/laughed at their jokes/worn that outfit…” “It’s my fault because it's happened to me before” “There’s something about me that makes me an easy target.” “I must have given them the wrong impression.” “This keeps happening to me. What’s wrong with me?” “I should have known better.”
I know these thoughts can play on a bad loop in your head. And thinking them is totally human. But none of them are true. You did not deserve to be sexually harassed. Not because of what you wore, how you looked, how much money you make, where you work, or anything else.
Just wanted to remind you. And point you to this helpful article if you're looking for a deeper resource on the topic.
Hope you didn't need to see this today. Heart bombs if you did.
🙀🤗❤️🩹
