Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Emotional abuse can leave lasting wounds that we can't see but know are there. It results in self-doubt, feelings of worthlessness, feeling "never good enough," and always feeling on edge to please others. I know from personal experience, how difficult it is to make sense of what you experienced, what you were told about yourself, how you were treated. Healing is possible through understanding the mechanisms of emotional abuse, the reasons why someone would resort to emotionally abusing you, and how you can reclaim your own right to define yourself and set boundaries to have healthier relationships.

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 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.
