Home

Jennifer Fraser is an author of four books and an award-winning educator. With a PhD in Comparative Literature, she is trained to take different discourses out of their silos, put them into the arena, and see if the conversation changes. Her latest book “The Bullied Brain” puts neuroscience and all forms of bullying and abuse into the arena and wow, did the conversation change. Her focus is captured in the book’s subtitle: “Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health.” She writes a regular series – “The Bullied Brain” – for Psychology Today and presents internationally on this issue. Her new book “The Gaslit Brain” will come out in the fall of 2025.

All forms of bullying and abuse damage the brain but your brain is wired to repair and recover. It is a miracle what it can do.
