Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
Emotional abuse is common and often not named as such. If you are experiencing cruel behavior and verbal or even physical abuse do not hesitate to get help. You may think that you have to take it because you are in love and find many reasons why the other person is not as bad as they act or you may feel you don’t deserve better. You may even think that there is no way out. Please stop, rethink and let’s talk.
If you are abusing another person and repeatedly inflict pain , there may be part of you knowing that this is not smart to continue on like this for yourself and everybody involved. You can make a difference and achieve a different life. Let’s talk and face up to it.

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.

I believe that emotional abuse is 'invisible violence'. The perpetrators can be parents, intimate partners, work colleagues, or so-called friends. The outcome is devastating. Nobody should suffer this violence in silence. I will work with you to change it.

John Castleford
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, mARCHTI
Bullying in the Workplace/Community is what got me started as a therapist, helping those in teaching and the health service who were being bullied out of a job by inscrutable bosses eager to edge out established staff in favour of cheaper employees straight out of college. I learned that it's not easy to do much about bullying in institutions--particularly when it's done with a fake smile, behind closed doors. Instead, it's much more straightforward to help individuals develop resilience and coping strategies founded on strengthened mind sets. I was a senior caseworker for a professional teaching association and saw numerous examples of bullying and emotional abuse, but was also instrumental in providing help and support for targets of abuse by workplace colleagues. Those who live in countries such as UK, Europe and Australia benefit from legislation that governs workplace relations; but not everyone will have the benefit of protective laws --eg USA where such laws are less powerful or nonexistent. But irrespective, laws that proscribe bullying in the workplace can be a blessing and a curse.
I can also help and support those in toxic relationships, who suppress their own quality of life because of external demands that keep them trapped. And when a person suffers from gaslightling (see the 1948 movie 'Gaslight' with Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman to see this in action), is there any wonder confidence erodes to the point where you feel unable to escape and take a scary step into the big, scary unknown can leave you locked into an insufferable situation?
