It is not uncommon for people to be able to identify physical and sexual abuse, but to downplay the resulting emotional dysregulation and/or trauma of psychological, emotional or narcissistic abuse.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Emotional abuse can be debilitating due to creating deep wounds that affect us even years after the traumatic event(s). In order to heal from emotional abuse a large part of therapy involves accessing deep wounds, which are often routed in childhood. By accessing our pain we become aware of how the emotional abuse has influenced our perceptions of ourselves and others. Through various therapy models, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I help you identify thoughts about the emotional abuse that delay healing and engage in values-oriented work in order to recognize how you would like to live your life despite the hardships that you have endured. Clients who have been emotionally abused often feel empowered when they recognize their ability to make effective, growth-enhancing life choices despite their past hardships. If you are somebody who has or is currently experiencing emotional abuse, I would be happy to work with you and devise a treatment plan that meets your unique needs and desires.

Stacy Kirkbride - Turnpage Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist
Emotional, mental and narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling isolated, uncertain and full of self-doubt, questioning your reality, low in confidence, feeling detached, anxious, having difficulty trusting, as well as feeling an immense amount of guilt and shame. I provide support for those struggling with relational trauma, narcissistic abuse, and complex trauma. Whether you are contemplating ending a relationship, dealing with the aftermath of leaving, or coping with ongoing difficulties with a partner or family member, I offer a supportive empathic space to explore the impact, rebuild self-confidence and self-worth, heal and establish safe effective boundaries.

Jennifer Fukushima
Registered Psychotherapist, registered psychotherapist
Emotional abuse can be insidious and hard to define, especially if these are the sort of relationships we grew up with. When we are faced with this type of abuse, we often feel isolated, powerless and as if our world has become smaller. We may even begin to question our own reality. No one deserves to be treated like this. Through relational supportive therapy, boundary setting tools and safety planning, I support my clients in growing beyond the very small container that emotional abuse creates.
