Emotional Abuse
Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse often is minimized or not even recognized at all. Which is a bunch of crap that I think we're socially programed to put up with. Screw that. It leaves deep wounds and can wreak havoc in all areas of life. I am very passionate and experienced in this area and want to help you through it.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who have been in relationships where their feelings, needs, or perceptions were dismissed, minimized, or used against them. Emotional abuse can be subtle and hard to name, especially when the relationship also included care, love, or periods of calm. You might relate to feeling confused about what was “real,” wondering if you were too sensitive or overreacting, replaying conversations in your head, or changing your behavior to avoid criticism, withdrawal, or the silent treatment. For many people, these patterns started young, in families where you had to stay tuned in to other people’s moods, keep the peace, or be “easy” so things didn’t get worse. Experiences like this can leave a long imprint: second‑guessing yourself, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, bracing for criticism even when nothing is wrong, or working hard to stay acceptable so conflict doesn’t escalate. You may find yourself feeling small in relationships, even when you are competent and grounded in other areas of your life. Over time, these patterns can shape your sense of self, your nervous system, and what you believe you are allowed to expect from others. In our work together, we make space for what you went through and how it lives in your body and relationships now, and we explore what it means to move forward with more clarity, self‑trust, and choice.

Emotional Abuse
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Emotional abuse is often a pattern that is repeated throughout life until the root cause memory is recovered and the inner child is able to release long-suppressed emotions and express them to the antagonist. This is done in the childhood regression in a safe and loving way. Once the inner child gets to express the unmet needs, the weight is lifted, the emotions are processed, and they no longer play on a loop. You are now free to move on and choose peaceful, liberating alternatives. Together we customize the hypnotic programming for this as well as any motivational work required. I empower you with a tool you can use every morning to go from dread to inspiration in only a few minutes and face the day with joy instead of fear. Ultimately, we signal to your nervous system that you are safe again; safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We reinforce emotional regulation and give you tools you can apply in minutes to regain emotinal equilibrium and return your body to homeostasis, should you feel triggered or overwhelmed.

Emotional Abuse
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
Many relationships are caught up in punishing cycles of control and abuse. When working with both parties in the room, I try to understand each one's point of view and experience and find fresh ways to represent each person to the other with words that relieve the impasses and develop alternative patterns to replace the emotional habits of dominance and punishment. When only one person is present (usually the one more victimized) I try to foster the means and courage to escape if the victimizer is unwilling to make real changes.
