Emotional Abuse Therapy
Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Emotional abuse is an often hidden or hard to pinpoint type of abuse that may occur in our adult relationships, those with our parents growing up, or both. One definition of emotional abuse includes psychological (i.e. non-physical) behaviors such as threats, insults, constant monitoring or “checking in,” controlling, shaming, humiliation, intimidation, isolation or ignoring behaviors.
You may also be dealing with childhood emotional abuse which can be defined as, 'sustained, repetitive, inappropriate emotional response to the child’s experience of emotion and its accompanying expressive behavior’.
Healing involves speaking our truth, learning about connecting to our emotions, boundary setting, connecting to our bodies and beginning to create new ways of building loving safe relationships with ourselves and others. Depending upon your own history we may make use of variety of tools to heal, including somatic work, trauma work, journaling, boundary setting, inner child work, family systems work, art therapy, or many other paths that can lead to reclaiming your truth.

Emotional Abuse Therapy
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you struggling with the lasting effects of emotional abuse, including narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, trauma bonding, and generational trauma? As a licensed clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals heal from these deeply impactful experiences. Emotional abuse can be especially challenging as it's often unseen and difficult for others to validate. If you are in a relationship with a narcissist, you are likely suffering from narcissistic abuse. Gaslighting and other forms of manipulation likely have you questioning your reality.
You don't have to do this alone. Even if you are just in the initial stages of realizing the abuse, it can help to process this with a licensed psychologist who will validate what you are going through. You don't have to do this alone. There is hope. Please reach out today.

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.
