Emotional Abuse
Dr. Birte Nachtwey
Registered Psychotherapist, MD, CORST
Emotional abuse is common and often not named as such. If you are experiencing cruel behavior and verbal or even physical abuse do not hesitate to get help. You may think that you have to take it because you are in love and find many reasons why the other person is not as bad as they act or you may feel you don’t deserve better. You may even think that there is no way out. Please stop, rethink and let’s talk.
If you are abusing another person and repeatedly inflict pain , there may be part of you knowing that this is not smart to continue on like this for yourself and everybody involved. You can make a difference and achieve a different life. Let’s talk and face up to it.

Emotional Abuse
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Emotional abuse can be harder to name than physical harm, and clients often arrive unsure whether what they experienced “counts.” I work collaboratively to validate that experience, understand its lasting impact on self-worth and trust, and rebuild a stronger, clearer sense of self going forward.

Emotional Abuse
Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Emotional abuse is a pattern of behaviour used by one person to gain and maintain power and control over another. Unlike physical abuse, it leaves no visible scars, but its impact on a person's mental health, self-esteem, and sense of reality can be deeply damaging and long-lasting.
Common Signs of Emotional Abuse
Constant Criticism & Belittling: Insults, name-calling, mocking, or undermining your intelligence, appearance, or abilities, often disguised as "jokes."
Gaslighting: Denying your reality, making you doubt your memory, perception, or sanity (e.g., "That never happened," or "You're imagining things").
Isolation: Trying to cut you off from friends, family, or other support networks so you become entirely dependent on the abuser.
Control & Monitoring: Demanding to know where you are at all times, checking your phone or emails, or controlling your finances and decisions.
Blame & Shifting Responsibility: Making you feel responsible for their moods, actions, or abusive behaviour (e.g., "Look what you made me do").
The Silent Treatment or Withholding: Punishing you by ignoring you, withholding affection, or refusing to communicate until you comply.
Understanding the Impact
Being subjected to emotional abuse over time can cause someone to lose confidence in their own judgment, feel constantly anxious or "walk on eggshells," and internalise the abuser's criticisms.
Remember: Emotional abuse is never your fault, and you do not have to navigate it alone. Support is available.
