Emotional Abuse
Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Healing from Narcissistic Abuse can be a hard and painful process. Narcissistic abuse is a severe, strategic form of emotional abuse characterized by gaslighting, manipulation, and control used to diminish a victim's self-worth, often resulting in PTSD. Signs of Emotional Trauma include: Chronic self-doubt and feeling "crazy"; Hypervigilance and anxiety; Isolation and feeling worthless; Difficulty trusting one's own instincts. Therapists specializing in this area help survivors recognize the tactics and untangle the manipulation. Specialized trauma therapy focuses on breaking the trauma bond, validating reality, restoring self-esteem, and establishing boundaries to heal from these toxic power dynamics. This includes learning to say no and establishing strict boundaries to protect emotional safety, reconnecting with one's sense of self-worth separate from the abuser's perception, and developing techniques for managing stress and triggers.
