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.

Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals healing from emotional abuse. My approach centers on creating a safe, supportive space to rebuild self-worth and trust after experiences of manipulation, control, or invalidation. Together, we work to understand the impact of emotional trauma, set healthy boundaries, and develop tools for self-compassion and empowerment. Using evidence-based trauma therapy, I help clients regain confidence, rediscover their voice, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Emotional abuse can be overt or covert. Hypnotherapy, Heart Centered Breathwork, and Emotional Release work can get to the source of emotional abuse. Usually in a family dynamic where abuse and trauma are present, the obvious abuse from one of the caregivers is the first to do emotional release work on. The caregiver dishing out covert emotional abuse flies under the radar. They may be the one that does nothing to help the child for fear of what the other caregiver will do. That is just as damaging to the person but in a more subtle way. Emotional abuse also happens when one gets involved with a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath with gas lighting, ghosting, etc. Another specialty of mine is working with clients that are in relationship with a narcissist & sociopaths as the abuse is so unsettling and covert that the client thinks its their fault for being emotionally abused. My job is to help you pull back the curtain to the Wizard of Oz just to find the real person behind the curtain and realize you don't deserve such manipulative treatment.

Sarah Sternlieb
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
When you grow up with a parent who frequently criticizes you or makes you question your own feelings, their voice can be hard to leave behind when childhood is over.
Now, one critical comment can stick with you for hours. You replay what was said and wonder whether they were right about you.
I use EMDR therapy to help adults work through experiences of emotional abuse from childhood so what happened has less power over how they feel about themselves today.
