Emotional Abuse Therapy therapists in Elk River, Minnesota MN
Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Emotional abuse and neglect from early childhood leads to negative self talk and relationship sabotage that lingers. It can be so difficult to restore because the impact is held in the autonomic and central nervous system, leading to embodied habits that hold you stuck. Shelly uses the latest mind-body therapies, including passive auditory interventions, that work gently with the nervous system so that you can experience healthy coregulation on your path to sustainable practices of healthy emotional awareness and expression as well as autonomic self regulation.

Emotional abuse can originate from family of origin as well as an adult relationship. We tend to love ourselves the way we are loved. I work with you to track wires that are in need of reconnection.

Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee and credentialed in Ireland
Many times people have told me that being emotionally abused was harder to heal from than if they had been physically abused. When someone tears down our psyche and how we feel about ourselves the road to recovery is difficult and sometimes lengthy but the arrival at emotional restoration is incredibly rewarding.
