Emotional Abuse
Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
If you are presenting to counseling for this issue, I recommend you do not tell the person you see as targeting you that you are seeking help. Emotional abuse may be a type of domestic violence. Or it may be a way a family member, partner, work colleague, boss, or friend interacts. There are different forms of emotional abuse and there may be things you can do. However, if this is persistent focused emotional abuse from someone -- and it is domestic violence -- it is not an anger problem, but a belief system that everything exists for their use. I will have a better idea when we talk. There may be things you can do, there may be plans you can make for changes. How much it affects you is key to planning.

Emotional Abuse
CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Emotional abuse can leave deep, lingering wounds—confusion, self-doubt, anxiety, and a feeling of never being “enough.” Whether it came from a partner, family member, or past relationship, the impact often shows up long after the abuse has ended. You may find yourself questioning your reality, struggling with your self-worth, or feeling stuck in patterns you didn’t choose.
In therapy, we’ll work together to rebuild your sense of safety, autonomy, and trust in yourself. I help clients understand the dynamics of emotional abuse, recognize the subtle ways it affects thoughts and behavior, and develop boundaries that protect their peace. Our work is focused on healing, empowerment, and reconnecting you with the strengths that may have been overshadowed. You deserve relationships—and a life—where you feel respected, supported, and emotionally secure. I’m here to help you move toward that.

Libby Shaw

Emotional abuse, from the past or your present day, can feel confusing and often times minimized. And yet, emotional abuse is extremely detrimental to a person's development, self-esteem, and feelings of safety. We can work on how to heal from emotional abuse, or how to establish safer and healthier boundaries with the people in your life causing you this harm.
