Emotional Abuse Counseling—Therapists and Counselors in Colorado Springs

Untraceable poison. The effects are noticeable, maybe even blatantly obvious, but the source is not.  Emotional abuse, also known as mental or psychological abuse, aims to belittle, control, and isolate a person into subordination and helplessness. The abuser may frame it as being helpful, stating they are guiding, advising, or teaching the victim something. The approach is very passive, subtle, and very silent.

The tricky thing about emotional abuse is that it can easily blend into the background, so subtle that it it is easily overlooked. However, there is a sense of something not being quite right. There may not be physical marks but there are deep wounds that drastically impact the quality of the victims’ lives. If you can relate all too well and think you could benefit from emotional abuse counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Colorado Springs today.

Types of Emotional Abuse

There are various types of emotional abuse:

  • control and domination
  • isolation and neglect
  • bullying and humiliation

Identifiers of Emotional Abuse

Typical behaviors of a psychological abuser include:

  • Controls your money and your spending
  • Treats you as inferior, consistently pointing out your shortcomings and faults
  • May control where you go, who you see, and/or what you do
  • May use the silent treatment to punish you
  • May belittle your successes
  • May accuse you of things you never did
  • May regularly make jokes at your expense
  • You may be afraid or intimidated to voice an opinion

The Effects of Long-Term Abuse

People who endure long-term emotional abuse generally have low self-esteem. They may have personality changes and withdraw from others. The largest impact of continual emotional abuse though are anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Alanys has been incredible to work with and has given me so many tools to help with a variety of issues.

★★★★☆
I really liked how easy it was to find help. When I was first starting out with therapy, I was lost and a bit overwhelmed of the concept of figuring this all out on my own. But this site made it really easy to find a therapist I really work well and jive with.
