Have you been involved in a toxic relationship or have you been raised in emotional abuse?
Sometimes the messaging and the experiences stick: you may have been silenced and the abuser's voice may have been internalized - you find yourself with an active internal critic - you take a step forward only to be set back again.
CareWay offers several psychotherapy modalities which could help you overcome the effects of emotional abuse and find your true voice.
Emotional abuse can affect the way one views themselves and the world around them. Providing an individual a safe environment to work through their negative experiences and create new and positive core beliefs can help an individual build confidence and decrease negative emotions.
All our therapists are trauma-informed and can support you through the struggles of emotional abuse. Contact our Intake Worker to help determine who will be the best fit for you.
Emotional abuse is far too common and has devastating effects. One must work on gaining self-esteem looking at the past to see what occurred to cause them to be in this situation now to heal past wounds and to gain the tools to deal with their current situation.

It is not uncommon for people to be able to identify physical and sexual abuse, but to downplay the resulting emotional dysregulation and/or trauma of psychological, emotional or narcissistic abuse.
Emotional, mental and narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling isolated, uncertain and full of self-doubt, questioning your reality, low in confidence, feeling detached, anxious, having difficulty trusting, as well as feeling an immense amount of guilt and shame. I provide support for those struggling with relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, and complex trauma. Whether you are contemplating ending a relationship, dealing with the aftermath of leaving, or coping with ongoing difficulties with a partner or family member, I offer a supportive empathic space to explore the impact, rebuild self-confidence and self-worth, heal and establish safe effective boundaries.
By finding out the cause and consequences of your emotional abuse, we can change from the deep subconscious roots and clear any negative self talks and beliefs, and have chance to clear things energetically with the abuser, and help you to set better boundaries, to have high self esteem, and know how to protect yourself better in the future.
