In some ways I should thank this man as I learnt a lot about myself, how to define and hold my boundaries, lessons in managing myself plus I found out who loved me and helped me through this challenging situation. The best thing I ever did was deliver the programme and then leave. I felt I had met my commitments and then needed to look after my own well-being. It should not be underestimated how long it takes to recover from a toxic manager. I moved into another role with a great manager. However I still found myself very sensitive to certain situations. I had to manage myself carefully not to over-react. Thankfully this eased over time but it surprised me how long it took.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, remember to be kind to yourself.
Here is an article which provides practical advice on how to manage a toxic manager. If you are in this situation, I hope it helps you.
If you have any questions, please drop me a line.
