Overview
The Question Space is the result of the knowledge that Gail has from her own experiences and training, united with references and quotes from highly respected authors, clinicians, and philosophers. It is a reminder for the reader that they are not alone, and the way they are thinking and feeling is recognised as a very real reaction to awful circumstances.
This timely and inspiring book gives hope to those who have been the target of the workplace bully.
Tools are designed for possibility thinking and include The Traffic Light Exercise, The Question Space, Using Your Wonder Muscle and a simple ABC Strategy to counter future bullying tactics.
The Question Space corrects many common misperceptions and concludes that post bullying trauma is very real, yet healing and joy are possible. It poses the question: Are elements of our social and work environments toxic and unsustainable?
What others are saying about “The Question Space”
“As a colleague of Gail’s nearly a decade ago, I always admired her contagious positive outlook on life. I always believed that she was put on this earth to spread cheer and inspire others. Gail has always had the ability to turn a difficult situation into a practical learning experience and I knew that’s exactly what she would do with The Question Space. However, I got so much more than I expected!
My anticipation turned into ever great admiration because Gail has turned her own incredibly negative and traumatic situation into a complete guide to wellbeing for the benefit of others. This is not a pop-psychology self-help book, but it is a well-researched resource that is sprinkled with a deep understanding and awareness from someone who can not only empathise with a victim of bullying, but someone who really does understand what it is like to be on the receiving end of torment.”

“There is so much I could commend to you in this book. The comprehensive information, the Think and Grow Spots and the touching quotations. The impact of all bullying is never to be discounted or minimised, my experience both personal and as a counsellor, has taught me this. The information shared in this book brings insight, empathy, experience and a heart of understanding.”
