Dr. Christine Manley
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
Emotional abuse may be more common than many individuals think. It can occur in childhood, at home, at work or in a number of other relationships. Studies have shown that the differences between physical abuse and emotional abuse were not significantly different in terms of harmful long-term mental health outcomes (things like later substance abuse, depression and anxiety). Emotional abuse may not leave bruises, but it can still leave a "mark." If you feel you may be continuing to fell the effects of emotional abuse, please contact me to begin your recovery process.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
Many of the trauma-survivors I work with tell me that the most damaging aspect of their traumas were the many negative messages that they received about themselves from abusers. Emotional abuse often leaves deeply rooted self-doubt and self-loathing in its wake. I use some of the best evidence-based trauma practices available to help survivors of emotional abuse identify and challenge these negative messages, in turn increasing self-confidence and optimism.

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.
