8 Ways Emotional Abuse Traumatizes You



Emotional abuse is defined as the continued and deliberate mistreatment of another person by means of psychological aggression, intimidation, coercion, control, and emotional manipulation. Physical abuse is a very pressing social issue being dealt with all over the world today, but very little attention is given to understanding and helping those who suffer from emotional abuse. Verbal abuse/ emotional abuse is one of the most rampant but also most overlooked forms of abuse. It’s elusive, misunderstood, and much more difficult to recognize, but the negative impact it can have on a person’s mental health and emotional well-being shouldn’t be taken lightly. So, in this video, we decided to talk about how emotional abuse can traumatize you to spread awareness on how any form of abuse is never okay and it’s something no one should ever have to go through.

If you can relate to this list but you’re not sure what you’ve experienced is emotional abuse, we’ve created a video in the past about the signs of emotional abuse: https://youtu.be/K_CCA7KAou4
