Emotional Abuse
Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The effects of emotional abuse can continue long after the relationship or circumstances have changed. I work with adults who grew up with critical, controlling, emotionally unpredictable, or emotionally abusive parents and family members, as well as those experiencing emotional abuse in current relationships. Therapy can help you understand the lasting impact of these experiences on self-worth, trust, boundaries, and relationships, and begin changing patterns that no longer serve you.

Emotional Abuse
Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
Most (though not all) of the emotional abuse victims I see are victims in classic narcissistic relationships. Sometimes the client sees them as such and sometimes they don't, but that's not what really matters. What really matters is that all experiences of emotional abuse deserve special attention. In such cases, I incorporate narcissistic victimhood/abuse education with the client's EMDR sessions. (In some cases, outside referrals may need to be considered.)

Emotional Abuse
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
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 emotional abuse allows us to create new blueprints for moving forward with new outcomes and to create new relationships with ourselves and others.
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.

Emotional Abuse
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Developing a close relationship with someone who displays narcissistic tendencies can result in trauma and pain. If you believe you have experienced narcissistic abuse from a parent, a partner, a friend, or another close entity, you may have noticed daily or near-daily dread, brain fog, panic, helplessness, and powerlessness. You may feel shame, self-doubt, and confusion alongside a tendency to blame yourself for all the ways this relationship feels wrong. You may feel that you’ve lost touch with your former confidence and vitality, as though both you and your world have shrunk under the shadow of this relationship. You may continue to feel deep longing and love for a person you know has harmed you.
At PCT, we are here to validate and witness your journey to healing. We will work with you to address the acute emotional and somatic symptoms of narcissistic abuse no matter where you are in your healing process. We will cultivate compassion for all the parts of you that have emerged throughout this struggle. We’ll walk with you as you gather the pieces of yourself and put them back together. We will help you build a strong foundation that can’t be rocked, and a home in yourself where you can know peace and acceptance.
