What is Emotional Abuse?
Not all types of abuse in a relationship are violent; instead, many will experience what is known as emotional abuse. While no two relationships are the same, there are many common behaviors that characterize emotional abuse. If you find yourself in a relationship in which your partner criticizes you, calls you names, acts jealous or possessive, isolates you from friends or family, or attempts to control what you do, say, wear, or who you speak to, this can be an indicator that you are experiencing emotional abuse.
Common symptoms or side effects of emotional abuse include:
- Low self-esteem
- Feelings of worthlessness
- Substance abuse or an increased reliance on substances
- Loss of interest or enjoyment in normal activitie
- Mood disturbances or changes in mood or personality
Over time, individuals who have experienced emotional abuse can struggle in finding self-worth and self-confidence, and it can be difficult to establish trust or form meaningful relationships with others. By working with an emotional abuse counselor, you can process these aftereffects of emotional abuse, and work together on a path toward healing and regaining a sense of self.
