• Can negative work experiences really lead to
  reactions similar to trauma experiences, like war
  or sexual assault? A hostile work environment
  certainly could contribute. A hostile work
  environment is one in which the workplace is made
  intimidating, abusive, or offensive to an
  employee as a consequence of anothers conduct
  within it (e.g., inappropriate comments, remarks,
  or gestures unwanted sexual attention) or
  because of characteristics of the setting (e.g.,
  displays of distasteful, insulting, or otherwise
  inappropriate material). Employees should be able
  to come into a positive, healthy work environment
  each day. Unfortunately, many people struggle
  with hostile work environments. Its important to
  understand what exactly a hostile work
  environment is and how to deal with the
  situation. Harassment in the workplace can take
  on many different facades.

• Harassers may make offensive jokes, call the
  victim names, threaten fellow employees
  physically or verbally, ridicule others, display
  offensive photographs, or impede on another
  persons work throughout the day.
• Harassment in the workplace might be based on
  race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, gender,
  nationality, age, physical or mental disability,
  or genetic information. While people are often
  most familiar with the concept of sexual
  harassment in the workplace, there are many other
  types of workplace harassment.

• Additionally, you may be a victim of workplace
  bullying which can cause serious damage to your
  self-esteem and your ability to contribute at
  work. It can also be responsible for your
  depression, physical illness, and severe trauma.
  Psychotherapy can decrease your chances of
  becoming a bullys target. Once you have set the
  limit in your mind, exercise your right to tell
  the bully to stop the behavior. You might want to
  rehearse these steps with a psychotherapist so
  that you are more comfortable responding when the
  bully attacks. Bullying is never okay in the
  workplace or anywhere else, for that matter.
