Dr. Samantha Worthington Launches New Initiatives Targeting Workplace Manipulation, Psychological Safety, and Trauma‑Informed Leadership
Samantha Worthington, a globally recognized expert in neuropsychology, consumer psychology, and emotionally intelligent leadership, is broadening her impact with an expanded suite of services addressing trauma recovery, leadership, and high‑performance team dynamics. Her latest initiatives include new keynote addresses, organizational workshops, and the release of her upcoming book, Unmasked: The Dark Psychology of Manipulators, set for launch in February 2026.
A key focus of these initiatives is the growing crisis of workplace bullying and psychological harm within professional environments. Drawing on two decades of research into human behaviour and nervous‑system responses, Dr. Worthington is equipping organisations with the tools to identify covert manipulation, prevent toxic leadership patterns, and build cultures grounded in emotional intelligence and psychological safety. Her new workshops and keynotes address the neuropsychology of bullying, the behavioural markers leaders often miss, and the systemic strategies required to protect employee wellbeing while strengthening organisational performance.

She specializes in neuropsychology and the cognitive‑emotional frameworks that shape decision‑making, leadership behaviour, psychological safety, and high performance. Her services now include expanded keynote topics, including:
- The Neuroscience of High-Performing Teams: A deep dive into the brain-based mechanisms behind collaboration, trust, and team performance, focusing on the role of psychological safety and emotional regulation in successful teams.
- Breaking the Pattern: A compelling exploration of trauma bonds, emotional confusion, and self-doubt, outlining the evidence-based pathways to reclaiming clarity and emotional freedom after experiencing relational harm in professional and personal settings.
These keynotes are designed to offer organizations, leaders, and individuals insight into the psychological and neurological mechanisms that influence team dynamics, behavior, and emotional resilience, equipping them with practical strategies for transformation.

Upcoming Book: Unmasked: The Dark Psychology of Manipulators
Dr. Worthington’s new book, Unmasked: The Dark Psychology of Manipulators, set to release in February 2026, provides a comprehensive examination of how manipulation distorts the brain’s cognitive and emotional responses. Drawing on her deep expertise in neuropsychology and lived experience, Dr. Worthington explores how manipulation hijacks the brain’s decision-making processes and impacts self-trust.
The book offers readers tools to identify manipulation in their personal and professional lives, reclaim their internal authority, and rebuild their sense of self. It combines scientific research with practical guidance, empowering individuals to break free from harmful patterns and reclaim their emotional freedom. Recognising that personal wellbeing underpins leadership effectiveness – shaping decision‑making, communication, and the capacity to create high‑functioning environments – the book also highlights how healing and self‑clarity directly elevate how we lead, work, and relate to others.
A Broader Mission to Empower and Heal
Across all of her initiatives, Dr. Worthington’s mission remains clear: to build scalable, human-centered ecosystems that empower individuals to lead with wisdom, clarity, and emotional intelligence.
