Emotional Abuse
Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
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.

Emotional Abuse
Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
Emotional abuse often doesn’t leave bruises, but it can erode your confidence and make you doubt your own reality. I help clients name gaslighting, spiritual/emotional manipulation, and chronically invalidating environments — including in families and churches — and then relearn how to trust themselves. Using parts work/IFS and trauma-responsive care, we work to restore self-worth, set healthy boundaries, and build relationships that feel safe.

Emotional Abuse
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who have been in relationships where their feelings, needs, or perceptions were dismissed, minimized, or used against them. Emotional abuse can be subtle and hard to name, especially when the relationship also included care, love, or periods of calm. You might relate to feeling confused about what was “real,” wondering if you were too sensitive or overreacting, replaying conversations in your head, or changing your behavior to avoid criticism, withdrawal, or the silent treatment. For many people, these patterns started young, in families where you had to stay tuned in to other people’s moods, keep the peace, or be “easy” so things didn’t get worse. Experiences like this can leave a long imprint: second‑guessing yourself, feeling responsible for other people’s emotions, bracing for criticism even when nothing is wrong, or working hard to stay acceptable so conflict doesn’t escalate. You may find yourself feeling small in relationships, even when you are competent and grounded in other areas of your life. Over time, these patterns can shape your sense of self, your nervous system, and what you believe you are allowed to expect from others. In our work together, we make space for what you went through and how it lives in your body and relationships now, and we explore what it means to move forward with more clarity, self‑trust, and choice.

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.
