Emotional Abuse
Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Emotional abuse is a pattern of behaviour used by one person to gain and maintain power and control over another. Unlike physical abuse, it leaves no visible scars, but its impact on a person's mental health, self-esteem, and sense of reality can be deeply damaging and long-lasting.
Common Signs of Emotional Abuse
Constant Criticism & Belittling: Insults, name-calling, mocking, or undermining your intelligence, appearance, or abilities, often disguised as "jokes."
Gaslighting: Denying your reality, making you doubt your memory, perception, or sanity (e.g., "That never happened," or "You're imagining things").
Isolation: Trying to cut you off from friends, family, or other support networks so you become entirely dependent on the abuser.
Control & Monitoring: Demanding to know where you are at all times, checking your phone or emails, or controlling your finances and decisions.
Blame & Shifting Responsibility: Making you feel responsible for their moods, actions, or abusive behaviour (e.g., "Look what you made me do").
The Silent Treatment or Withholding: Punishing you by ignoring you, withholding affection, or refusing to communicate until you comply.
Understanding the Impact
Being subjected to emotional abuse over time can cause someone to lose confidence in their own judgment, feel constantly anxious or "walk on eggshells," and internalise the abuser's criticisms.
Remember: Emotional abuse is never your fault, and you do not have to navigate it alone. Support is available.

Emotional Abuse
Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Emotional abuse can be deeply damaging, even when there are no visible signs on the outside. It can involve manipulation, control, criticism, intimidation, gaslighting, humiliation, or repeated experiences of feeling diminished or psychologically trapped. My approach focuses on understanding the impact of these experiences, processing what has happened, and rebuilding a stronger sense of self, clarity, and emotional safety.
