Emotional abuse is insidious. The more we take it, the more we feel like we deserve it, or worse, brought it on ourselves. There is a huge wound to our sense of who we are and what we deserve. But this can be healed with support, kindest and mindfulness in a deeply supportive environment.
Emotional abuse therapy aims to build self-esteem, self-worth, and assertiveness and boundary-setting skills. Emotional abuse recovery assists victims in clarifying their relationship needs and finding ways to get such needs met. When applicable, therapy provides a safe place in which to process and come to terms with relationship loss.

Emotional abuse is as damaging than physical/sexual abuse but is often neglected. The impact of emotional abuse is often not understood and has an impact on someone success in life. I often have clients who said to me "I had a wonderful childhood" or even "perfect life" but could not understand why they had such a rocky life. Once we explored the early family dynamic and increased awareness of emotional neglect/abuse it brings a resolution with this gap.
