Emotional abuse counseling helps victims heal from abusive relationships. Examples of emotional abuse may include:
Emotional abuse counseling with our Thriveworks therapists in Marietta gives people the safe space they need to identify and understand the harm they’ve experienced and move forward. Through therapy, many victims have rebuilt their self-esteem and self-worth; recognized that they did not cause the abuse, but their perpetrator is responsible for the choice to harm; identified their wounds and found the treatment they need; healed from trauma; re-established their personal safety; grieved their losses; formed new, loving relationships; and learned to trust their experiences and emotions.
Emotional abuse counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Emotional abuse counseling with one of our Thriveworks therapists in Marietta, GA can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
Though emotional abuse differs from physical abuse, it can be just as serious—if not more serious. The psychological scars can take years to fade, and more often than not they require counseling to do so. Thriveworks Marietta counselors are standing by to help you work through your experiences with abuse.
Many think of abuse as exclusively physical, such as hitting, but there’s a more sinister type of ill-treatment that is purely emotional. And that emotional abuse has different manifestations. In some cases, the abuse is very obvious—the abuser calls the victim names, threatens them, or is generally unkind to the victim.
Unfortunately, it’s not the only kind of emotional abuse. Perhaps more insidious is subtle abuse. Subtle emotional abuse is not always obvious, but it is always hurtful. A lot of sufferers complain that home life becomes too sensitive. They often quote the phrase “It’s like walking on eggshells.”
That psychological damage can manifest as low-self esteem, depression, or trust issues, and may even cause physical pain, like headaches. Whatever the type of relationship, if any of the above sounds familiar, give us a call.
In counseling for emotional abuse in Marietta, our therapists will help you identify a plan for leaving the relationship, if that is your desire. Just as important, our Marietta counselors will help you learn how to avoid these types of relationships in the future. Abuse is never the victim’s fault, and it’s important that we help as many people as possible learn skills for avoiding these unhealthy relationships. Finally, we will help you recover from any trauma caused by the relationship so that you may go forward and have healthy, fulfilling, mutually beneficial relationships in the future.
Our Marietta, GA Thriveworks emotional abuse therapy has helped to counsel many victims of psychological abuse. Emotional abuse is a serious issue that deserves to be addressed immediately, and for that reason we can usually get you an appointment within the same week. You’ll be so glad you took the first step on the road to recovery.
