What is Emotional Abuse?
Emotional abuse is one form of abuse that people can experience in a relationship. Though emotional abuse doesn’t leave physical scars, it can have a huge impact on your confidence and self-esteem. There are different types of emotional abuse which are not noticeable at first.
This might be a problem if you…feel like you are not good enough, you are afraid of your partner leaving you, you are called names by your partner or they put you down.
Many concerning relationships involve aspects of emotional abuse. The aim of emotional abuse is to chip away at a person’s feelings of self-worth and independence. In an emotionally abusive relationship, a person may feel that there is no way out of the relationship or that without their partner they will have nothing.
Emotional abuse can feel equally as destructive and damaging as physical abuse to a person’s mental health. It’s common for physically abusive relationships to also include aspects of emotional abuse as this is how power and control is maintained within the relationship.
Some types of emotional abuse can include:
Verbal – yelling, insulting or swearing at someone
Rejection – pretending not to notice someone’s presence, conversation or value
Put downs – name calling, public embarrassment, calling someone stupid, blaming them for everything
Being afraid – causing someone to feel afraid, intimidated or threatened
Isolation – limiting freedom of movement, stopping someone from contacting other people (like friends or family)
Money – controlling someone’s money, withholding money, preventing someone from working, stealing or taking money
Bullying- purposely and repeatedly saying or doing hurtful things to someone.
Though physical violence is often seen as being more serious than emotional abuse, this is not the case. The scars of emotional abuse are real and long lasting. Emotional abuse can leave a person feeling depressed, anxious and even suicidal, as well as having a negative impact on self-esteem and confidence.
If you are experiencing emotional abuse it is important for you to seek help.
