Emotional Abuse Therapy
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
Many of the trauma-survivors I work with tell me that the most damaging aspect of their traumas were the many negative messages that they received about themselves from abusers. Emotional abuse often leaves deeply rooted self-doubt and self-loathing in its wake. I use some of the best evidence-based trauma practices available to help survivors of emotional abuse identify and challenge these negative messages, in turn increasing self-confidence and optimism.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Did someone try to make you believe that something is wrong with you, that you're the problem and not okay? Did they call you names and shut you down? WORDS DO HURT! The impacts of emotional abuse cant be seen on your skin; the damage exists behind the forced smile. You dont have to force your smile here or pretend to be okay.
It wasnt okay what they said and what they did that slowly eroded your self-esteem and made you question every decision you make. The therapy I provide for the empacts of emotional abuse is two fold - heal the anxiety that resulted from the abuse, and help you relearn that you are worthy, valued and loved.
