Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Lost & Found Counseling, Jennifer Cranford
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC and Brainspotting certified
Both emotional and spiritual abuse are powerful forms of manipulation that often happen gradually and are many times not recognized until later in a relationship. Sometimes spiritual abuse will happen at the hands of a revered church leader or inside a group that has become your community. Emotional and spiritual abuse effects can also create great confusion as mental games are played and you can wonder if you are the one who is in the wrong. Do you stay or go? Do you set limits? Do you expose those who have who have used their authority over you to control you? In therapy we will explore your questions and consider steps for regaining your independence.
