Untraceable poison. The effects are noticeable, maybe even blatantly obvious, but the source is not. Emotional abuse, also known as mental or psychological abuse, aims to belittle, control, and isolate a person into subordination and helplessness. The abuser may frame it as being helpful, stating they are guiding, advising, or teaching the victim something. The approach is very passive, subtle, and very silent.
The tricky thing about emotional abuse is that it can easily blend into the background, so subtle that it it is easily overlooked. However, there is a sense of something not being quite right. There may not be physical marks but there are deep wounds that drastically impact the quality of the victims’ lives. If you can relate all too well and think you could benefit from emotional abuse counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Colorado Springs today.
