Emotional Abuse
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
Many of my clients have suffered from emotional abuse from their families of origin or from friends or partners. Healing from this abuse has been the focus of much of the therapy I have done due to its prevalence and its long-term negative effects. As many parents now know, cyberbullying is hurting too many young people these days as well. Emotional abuse can cause people of any age to feel insecure, anxious, and fearful and can lead to depression and substance abuse. It also triggers shame, guilt, and anger. These feelings impact the individual not only at the time of the abuse but far into the future as a life pattern that sabatoges positive efforts. Successful healing is achieved by working with early memories, Gestalt, and psychoanalytic approaches with clients' dreams, and discussion of abusive incidents from present and past relationships. Mindfulness approaches also alleviate the negative symptoms, as research confirms. I offer free zoom seminars, which introduce Mindfulness, promote a positive view of life, and help with issues involving emotional abuse. Please feel free to call for information or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Emotional Abuse
Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
Most (though not all) of the emotional abuse victims I see are victims in classic narcissistic relationships. Sometimes the client sees them as such and sometimes they don't, but that's not what really matters. What really matters is that all experiences of emotional abuse deserve special attention. In such cases, I incorporate narcissistic victimhood/abuse education with the client's EMDR sessions. (In some cases, outside referrals may need to be considered.)

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. I have found that these early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships. Many have learned to defer to others, feeling like a burden if they consider and try to communicate their needs or limits. These folks have learned to betray themselves in order to preserve their attachments, often leading to tolerating emotionally abusive behavior. These clients often feel resentment, burnout, anxiety and depression, and are working on stepping into their power and agency to detach from abusive relationships.
