Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Providing psychoeducation on what Emotional Abuse is, is the first step. Emotional abuse can include:
constant yelling; name calling, demeaning remarks or threats; physically or socially isolating an individual; withholding affection; bullying or public humiliation; exposure to family violence; denying something an individual knows is true (gaslighting); destroying an individual’s belongings, hurting their pets, or threatening to do so amongst other things.
One of the hardest things a person has to do is stop being in denial when someone you love is mistreating you. Through DBT I will teach you assertiveness training, distress tolerance, self-acceptance and cognitive reframing so that you can reclaim your self worth.
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
It is important to understand what emotional abuse is and how it impacts our lives. Often this is subtle subjective experience. One of the most important things to remember is having the ability to be aware, notice the injury. That's the first step.
It is time for you to begin to heal from the things that have happened to you. To begin to see that the abuse - whether it happened when you were a child, or later in life - does not define you. To create new ways of thinking about yourself and about others.
You don't have to keep trying to please others, to struggle silently on the inside, to feel like you can't trust others and to put others' needs consistently above your own.
You don't have to do it alone - together we can explore and challenge some of the beliefs that you might hold right now the ones that say: "it was something I did", "there's something wrong with me", "I'm broken or permanently damaged". We can help you re-regulate your nervous system and be more in control of your emotions and behaviour.
Our goal is to help you regain power and control in your life and to release some of the heaviness that you've been carrying. W want you to begin seeing the world as a space in which trust and safety are not foreign concepts. A world in which you don't have to hide from your past or distract yourself to get through the day.
We want therapy to work for you and a huge part of that is fit between you and your therapist. Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. We will connect you with a clinician from our team of trained and passionate registered psychotherapists and social workers so that you can discuss your needs and how we might be able to help.
All our therapists are trauma-informed and can support you through the struggles of emotional abuse. Contact our Intake Worker to help determine who will be the best fit for you.
In my work with adults, I have helped clients navigate traumatic emotional experiences with partners and families. Through rebuilding fractured parts of self, we can start to work towards emotional health and better self-esteem.
Emotional abuse is an underrated type of complex trauma and abuse. It often starts in childhood and has long-lasting consequences in adolescence and adulthood. If you feel insecure, unworthy, and unwanted, or if you find yourself in a pattern of toxic relationships, I would like to work with you on developing self-confidence, self-esteem, and more fulfilling relationships.
If you have experienced emotional abuse, you may be living with normal but unwanted emotional and physical effects of trauma. Are you experiencing panic attacks, anxiety, depression or feelings of shame, fear or anger? Perhaps your sleep is disrupted, or you feel disconnected from your body at times. Psychotherapy can be an effective way to heal from trauma. We will work with you – at your own pace - to make new meaning from past experiences, while teaching you strategies to stay grounded and feel safer in your mind and body. We use trauma-informed approaches to help you feel less overwhelmed, and create safety in the present.
Learning how to identify all forms of abuse including gaslighting can be a big step. The impact of early childhood trauma can carry into adult life. You can find ways to heal, strengthen, and mitigate some of these effects without having to actually relive the past.
Childhood abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, can leave lasting impacts in our lives, impacting the ways we feel about ourselves, about those we love, and about our sense of safety and belonging in the world. If you find it difficult to trust others, to manage your feelings effectively, or to come to terms with events that have happened in your past, working with a trauma-informed therapist open up a world of new possibilities. Emotion focused therapy is a tested therapy that is effective for processing past attachment and relationship trauma and abuse. When seeking to heal from abuse, it is important to find a therapist who listens carefully, who knows when to help you speed up or slow down, and who can help you to safely manage the big feelings that often stem from past trauma. Book today for a free consultation. We are here to help you to find a therapist who is the right fit for your needs.
