Emotional Abuse
Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Under the guise of trauma focused therapy, the more subtle and therefore sometimes most confusing aspects of emotional abuse can become critical to unwind and understand both in the context of past childhood experiences with immature caregivers, how these experiences can inform the choice of romantic partners later in life and how to move past these patterns and expectations to allow for growth and freedom from relationships that detract rather than add.

Emotional Abuse
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Emotional abuse—especially narcissistic abuse—can be difficult to name, even when its impact is significant. It often involves patterns of manipulation, control, gaslighting, and invalidation that leave you questioning your reality, your memory, and your sense of self. Many people come out of these relationships feeling confused, drained, and unsure of what was “real.” Because it doesn’t always leave visible marks, it’s often minimized or misunderstood by others. Cultural and family dynamics can make this even harder to recognize or speak about, especially when there are pressures to maintain relationships or avoid conflict.
At Nour Counseling, we have clinicians who are highly specialized in working with emotional and narcissistic abuse. We provide clear, grounded psychoeducation to help you understand these patterns—what they are, how they function, and why they can be so disorienting. From there, we work actively with you to rebuild trust in your own perceptions, strengthen boundaries, and process the emotional impact of what you’ve experienced. We also support you in recognizing how these patterns may continue to show up in current relationships, so you can move forward with more clarity and self-trust. This work is about helping you feel more anchored in yourself and less defined by what you went through.
