Emotional abuse is a form of manipulative behavior where the abuser repeatedly behaves in a manner that harms the victim’s sense of self-worth and agency. While it can manifest in many forms, Mission Connection says that gaslighting, constant criticism, and threats are the most common; the abuser may also twist situations to make it seem like they are always right, that they know best, and that all problems in the relationship are solely the fault of the victim.
Emotional abuse can occur in any type of relationship, but it is most common in romantic relationships. The abuser often initially presents themself as loving and attentive, but after a while, may begin exhibiting controlling or possessive behavior and threatening the victim’s sense of safety or belongings to frighten them. Prolonged exposure to this type of emotional manipulation can result in long-term symptoms like nightmares, insomnia, and physical pain; mental disorders like trauma, anxiety, and depression; and the inability to form lasting relationships with new people.
While victims may understandably fear retribution, judgment from others, or consequences for their financial standing or family members, Mission Connection’s guide notes that leaving an abusive relationship is possible and is paramount to healing. The most important first step is for the victim to acknowledge that they have been abused emotionally - after this step, they can begin looking for professional treatment from licensed mental health providers.
Mission Connection says that counseling offered specifically for emotional abuse is ideal for helping abuse victims process their trauma and begin rebuilding their lives. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one common modality in the field, and it is known to be effective at reshaping how an individual thinks.
Beyond treatment, Mission Connection’s guide says that emotional abuse victims may find it helpful to create a safe space, set boundaries, and build a support network. These strategies will help them cope with any lasting scars outside of therapy.
