one question about protecting yourself

I've read a few threads about power imbalance/dominant situations or bad cases in medical school or among other professions. The situation worsens among some individuals. What happens when PTSD or complex feelings last? And those beside you are helpless as well and think it's your own responsibility? (this is terrible) what are ways to protect yourself - how often and how should you speak up at signs of other's negative control over you
