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.

If you have been negatively impacted in relationships due to emotional abuse, there is help. If you are unsure whether you have experienced emotional abuse, here are some things to indicate you may have been in an abusive relationship: Feeling constantly on eggshells around the person, Second-guessing your own thoughts, memories, and perceptions; Being made to apologize for the gaslighter's mistakes; Constant criticism and belittlement; Isolation from friends and family. If you identify with these, contact my office to schedule an appointment to start the process of healing and finding freedom from the pain.

Probably emotional neglect or the lack of adequately nurturing is the least recognized and validated for of developmental or marital abuse. Looking at attachment style can often help you to understand how this neglect occurred and what you need to heal. Maybe negative thoughts intrude on your thought process. There are many approaches that work for this, depending upon your needs.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
My Emotional Abuse Therapy focuses on deconstructing the "gaslighting" and mental surveillance that erode your sense of self. We use somatic cues to help you learn to trust your own "felt sense" again after it has been systematically undermined. Our work is to help you silence the voice of the abuser and amplify the voice of your own truth.
