This article from Monster.com doesn’t deal with relational aggression specifically, but it does offer some suggestions on how to deal with toxic situations regarding your boss at work. One example, in particular, reminded me of the kind of petty attacks that can happen in relational aggression, where a worker was criticized by her boss for her sense of humor and the look on her face.

This is a song I wrote from my personal experience with relational aggression.Stream Song Broadband
Stream Song Dial UpDouble Dragon
The Double Dragon is an appropriate symbol for the topic of covert aggression and empowerment - two heads coming out of one body.
For in truth, the dragons exist one within the other, as both aggression and empowerment exist within each person.
Relational aggression isn't so much about a specific person, a "bitch" we love to hate, as much as a state of mind; a set of choices we all can make.
The possibility for their manifestation exists in every person. Some people do play the role of aggressor as opposed to target, but to become an aggressor is only a choice away for each one of us.
Be willing then, to see yourself, if only in potential, in both roles - aggressor and target. Doing so will give you insight and understanding, and with that, true empowerment.
