Emotional Abuse
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can play a valuable role in the treatment of emotional abuse by helping individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists assist clients in accessing subconscious memories and emotions linked to abuse, allowing them to reframe negative beliefs and regain a sense of self-worth. This approach can reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and foster resilience, making it a supportive complement to traditional therapies for emotional abuse recovery.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I have found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have learned to defer to others, feeling like a burden if they consider and try to communicate their needs or limits. These folks have learned to betray themselves in order to preserve their attachments, often leading to tolerating emotionally abusive behavior. These clients often feel resentment, burnout, anxiety and depression, and are working on stepping into their power and agency to detach from abusive relationships.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
Many of my clients have suffered from emotional abuse from their families of origin or from friends or partners. Healing from this abuse has been the focus of much of the therapy I have done due to its prevalence and its long-term negative effects. As many parents now know, cyberbullying is hurting too many young people these days as well. Emotional abuse can cause people of any age to feel insecure, anxious, and fearful and can lead to depression and substance abuse. It also triggers shame, guilt, and anger. These feelings impact the individual not only at the time of the abuse but far into the future as a life pattern that sabatoges positive efforts. Successful healing is achieved by working with early memories, Gestalt, and psychoanalytic approaches with clients' dreams, and discussion of abusive incidents from present and past relationships. Mindfulness approaches also alleviate the negative symptoms, as research confirms. I offer free zoom seminars, which introduce Mindfulness, promote a positive view of life, and help with issues involving emotional abuse. Please feel free to call for information or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Emotional Abuse
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
Emotional abuse is not considered a crime. No one gets arrested for this kind of abuse. The victim has to show bruises and lacerations for an investigation to occur. Clever abusers and predators know this. Rather than beating the body of their victim, they will work with their minds, gaslight them and continue to distort their belief in their own perception of reality. The worst of emotional abuse is that the victim can feel hopeless, abandoned, misunderstood and even worry about being crazy. Call me and together we'll find ways to restore U to the healthy quality life you deserve: 913-991-2302

Emotional Abuse
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Under the guise of trauma focused therapy, the more subtle and therefore sometimes most confusing aspects of emotional abuse can become critical to unwind and understand both in the context of past childhood experiences with immature caregivers, how these experiences can inform the choice of romantic partners later in life and how to move past these patterns and expectations to allow for growth and freedom from relationships that detract rather than add.

Emotional Abuse
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 emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
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.
