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.

Counselor/Therapist, MA.PCC
Emotional abuse is a form of maltreatment characterized by the persistent manipulation, degradation, and undermining of an individual's emotional well-being. This type of abuse can manifest in various ways, including verbal attacks, controlling behavior, humiliation, and isolation. The impact of emotional abuse can be profoundly damaging, leading to diminished self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and a sense of powerlessness. It can occur in personal relationships, such as romantic partnerships or family dynamics, and also in professional settings. Recognizing the signs of emotional abuse and seeking support from trusted individuals or professionals is vital for breaking free from its harmful effects. Counseling, establishing healthy boundaries, and fostering self-care practices are essential steps in the journey toward healing from emotional abuse and reclaiming one's emotional autonomy.
