Abuse comes in all shapes and forms. However, mistreatment by others and emotional abuse can have insidious consequences regarding how we feel about ourselves and the world around us.
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
Many of the trauma-survivors I work with tell me that the most damaging aspect of their traumas were the many negative messages that they received about themselves from abusers. Emotional abuse often leaves deeply rooted self-doubt and self-loathing in its wake. I use some of the best evidence-based trauma practices available to help survivors of emotional abuse identify and challenge these negative messages, in turn increasing self-confidence and optimism.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
When a person is in a relationship, personal or professional, it is sometimes hard for that person to notice emotional abuse until it becomes severe or someone else notices that it is happening. This is not the client's fault, emotional abuse usually starts very subtly with harsh comments or shutting down but these behaviors are often attributed to a bad day. Over time when a person hears harsh comments enough times they start to believe them. Therapy for emotional abuse is in part helping client's recognize emotional abuse and try to set boundaries, if it is safe to do so. Then we will work to desensitize, reframe, and replace those harsh comments with positive beliefs while increasing the client's sense of self-worth.

This component will assist in reducing trauma and stress-related complications as a result of the past or current emotional abuse. It will also help improve emotional and physical safeguards to avoid or confront emotional abuse, which should increase emotional intelligence, conscious of self and surrounding, and how to anticipate and confront different problems.
