Probably emotional neglect or the lack of adequately nurturing is the least recognized and validated for of developmental or marital abuse. Looking at attachment style can often help you to understand how this neglect occurred and what you need to heal. Maybe negative thoughts intrude on your thought process. There are many approaches that work for this, depending upon your needs.

Rachel Ann Dine
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LPC
Emotional abuse is often insidious and slow to develop. Most emotionally abusive and controlling partners typically don't start demeaning and belittling you on the first date, rather emotional abuse begins seeping through over time. And oftentimes, months even years may have gone by, and you may wonder if what you're hearing is normal, or you may have been told you deserve to be spoken to in this manner, or you may be confused at the hot and cold behavior you're receiving from your partner. Having a therapist who specializes in understanding the covert and overt signs of manipulation and abuse is paramount in healing for survivors. I help women (no matter how long or how short you've been with someone!) recognize the cycle of emotional abuse, the gaslighting, the love bombing, and the emotional manipulation and blame game that often occurs in these complex relational dynamics. I help women regain their footing, recognize the reality, and feel more empowered to make decisions about your relationship and healing process that feel good for you.

Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
Many of the trauma-survivors I work with tell me that the most damaging aspect of their traumas were the many negative messages that they received about themselves from abusers. Emotional abuse often leaves deeply rooted self-doubt and self-loathing in its wake. I use some of the best evidence-based trauma practices available to help survivors of emotional abuse identify and challenge these negative messages, in turn increasing self-confidence and optimism.
