How Can I Overcome Trauma from Verbal Abuse?

18 January, 2024
Q Recently me along with my sister & mother were going somewhere on uber. The driver was going to use a technically wrong shortcut so we told him to not go from pull/bridge. Upon which he started arguing aggressively. Even his first sentence was in a very bad tone & disrespectful to my mother. We then told him to stop midway. He kept on misbehaving & then when we told him to behave, he started using foul language (slurs, curses, dirtiest abusive language) against my sister & mother in the middle of road. I just can't forget that language. We felt violated & embarrassed. It was so hurtful! It's been 2 days, I'm not able to overcome this. Please help!

If you have been verbally abused or harassed in a taxi or any other transport service, you can fill out a file and report the case to the company.

Employees should follow guidelines and be held accountable for their shortcomings.

How can you overcome verbal harassment?

Do not carry on with unpleasant experiences. Especially that most of the time those words tell more about the abuser than about you.

After filling out a complaint, turn to Allah for relief and try to move on.
