Many times people have told me that being emotionally abused was harder to heal from than if they had been physically abused. When someone tears down our psyche and how we feel about ourselves the road to recovery is difficult and sometimes lengthy but the arrival at emotional restoration is incredibly rewarding.

Dr. Christine Manley
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
Emotional abuse may be more common than many individuals think. It can occur in childhood, at home, at work or in a number of other relationships. Studies have shown that the differences between physical abuse and emotional abuse were not significantly different in terms of harmful long-term mental health outcomes (things like later substance abuse, depression and anxiety). Emotional abuse may not leave bruises, but it can still leave a "mark." If you feel you may be continuing to fell the effects of emotional abuse, please contact me to begin your recovery process.

Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.
