Reviewed by
CA Sunita Joshi · Chartered Accountant, CFP
Aap apni desk par baithi hain, dil zoron se dhadak raha hai, ek meeting ke baad jahan aapke ideas ko ignore kar diya gaya ya aapke gender par koi 'joke' mara gaya. Aap office washroom mein mirror mein dekhti hain aur sochti hain, 'Kya yeh sirf mujhe hi lag raha hai? Kya main overreact kar rahi hoon?' Main chahti hoon ki aap ek gehri saans lein. Aap overreact nahi kar rahi hain, aur aap bilkul akele nahi hain. Hum mein se bahuton ne sidelined mehsoos karne ki woh sinking feeling ko anubhav kiya hai. Yeh guide aapke liye ek safe space hai yeh samajhne ke liye ki in palon ko grace aur strength ke saath kaise handle karein, apni career ko risk mein daale bina.
What You'll Need
- Documentation ke liye ek private notebook ya digital file
- Khud ke saath patience
- Apni team ke bahar koi trusted mentor ya friend
- Boundaries set karne ka courage
Har incident ko document karein
Jab kuch uncomfortable ho, toh use turant likh lein. Date, time, kaun involved tha, exactly kya kaha gaya, aur aur kaun witness tha, yeh sab include karein. Yeh sirf HR ke liye nahi hai; yeh aapki apni clarity ke liye hai jab aap apni memory par doubt karne lagti hain.
Agar safe mehsoos karein toh usi pal address karein
Agar aap comfortable hain, toh calm, neutral tone ka use karke use point out karein. Try karein kehne ka, 'Mujhe woh joke theek se samajh nahi aaya, kya aap bata sakte hain yeh funny kyun hai?' ya 'Maine notice kiya ki mujhe interrupt kiya gaya; mujhe apna point finish karne dein.' Aksar, jab logon ko realise hota hai ki aap dhyan de rahi hain, toh woh peeche hat jaate hain.

Apna support circle banayein
Is bojh ko akele mat uthayein. Ek ya do colleagues dhoondhein jin par aap trust karti hain—bhale hi woh alag departments mein hon—jahan aap vent kar sakein aur advice le sakein. Kabhi kabhi, sirf yeh jaanna ki koi aur bhi wohi dekh raha hai jo aap dekh rahi hain, aapki mental health ke liye bahut bada difference la sakta hai.
"Aapki khamoshi ko aksar agreement samajh liya jaata hai; firm hone ke liye aggressive hone ki zaroorat nahi hai, lekin apni awaaz sunana zaroori hai."
