Emotional Abuse
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Emotional abuse is when one person in a relationship uses their power in the relationship to shame, blame, criticize, frighten, belittle, or control another person. This may happen through words and/or behaviors. It may start small, and escalate over time. Emotional abuse is highly correlated to other types of abuse, but can also occur as the only form of abuse in the relationship.
All relationships have conflict at times. Emotional abuse is far from normal conflict and involves an imbalance of power and an attempt to control.
Experiencing emotional abuse can have serious consequences for the victim/survivor. The effects can range from internal (such as depression) to external (such as difficulties in interpersonal relationships).1 The type of effects depends on many variables, including, but not limited to, the individual’s own constitution and resiliency, the abuse experienced, the victim’s past experiences, and their support system.
Dealing with emotional abuse, both during and after the relationship, can be tremendously difficult. Emotional abuse can erode your sense of self, making it harder to trust your own judgment. Help from a mental health professional is key.

Emotional Abuse
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
Many relationships are caught up in punishing cycles of control and abuse. When working with both parties in the room, I try to understand each one's point of view and experience and find fresh ways to represent each person to the other with words that relieve the impasses and develop alternative patterns to replace the emotional habits of dominance and punishment. When only one person is present (usually the one more victimized) I try to foster the means and courage to escape if the victimizer is unwilling to make real changes.
