Emotional abuse is a form of trauma that can cause deep-rooted psychological and emotional distress. This can include verbal attacks, neglect, intentional humiliation, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation. Long-term emotional damage can result from persistent emotional abuse including belittling, being invalidated, and having limited independence.
It is important to note that, unlike physical abuse, signs of emotional abuse are not physically visible. Emotional and verbal abuse trauma can affect your self-esteem, relationships, and overall mental wellness. You may find yourself struggling to establish and maintain healthy and trusting relationships.
Mental health effects of emotional abuse can include anxiety, depression, trust issues, and poor emotion regulation. If you are experiencing emotional abuse, or the effects of emotional abuse, we encourage you to contact AMFM treatment centers for a complimentary and confidential mental health assessment today.
Symptoms and signs of emotional abuse can vary from person to person, including both physical and psychological difficulties. You may find yourself struggling with feelings of worthlessness, self-doubt, anxiety, and depression. It may be challenging to trust others, regulate your emotions, and hear criticism.
Examples of common physical symptoms include headaches, stomach issues, and sleep disturbances. You may find yourself engaging in people-pleasing behaviors, isolating from others, and struggling with perfectionism. Some struggle with coping with emotional abuse trauma and turn to misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol. With the right treatment and support, healing from emotional abuse is possible.

The long-term impact of emotional abuse trauma can vary from person to person. When left untreated, you may experience the effects of abuse for a prolonged period. Emotional abuse can skew your self-perception, and behaviors, and negatively impact your relationships. You may struggle with your self-esteem and within interpersonal relationships.
Emotional abuse can contribute to fears of rejection, failure, and abandonment. Emotional neglect and trauma can contribute to the development of mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other trauma-related conditions. These effects of emotional and psychological abuse can have a lasting impact on your career, relationships, and overall health when left untreated.
The impact of emotional abuse on self-esteem can be profound. You can also struggle with persistent negative thoughts, and feeling as though you’re unworthy of positive experiences like love and happiness. Gaslighting and emotional manipulation can affect your ability to form healthy relationships because you may question your instincts and perceptions.
Emotional abuse survivors may be at an increased risk for mood disorders, including anxiety and depression. Anxiety symptoms can interfere with your decision-making and concentration. You may also find yourself developing dependent relationships or distant relationships because of your emotional abuse. Therapy for emotional abuse survivors can help you address the root cause of their current struggles and introduce coping strategies for the psychological symptoms that they experience.

Healing from emotional abuse begins with recognizing the toll that your experiences have had on you. Coping strategies can help you manage the distress caused by emotional trauma and PTSD. Therapy clinics offer personalized treatment that can help you learn to incorporate self-compassion and kindness into your everyday life.
Behavioral health centers often include therapy and counseling to help you heal from your emotional trauma. You may be encouraged to try journaling, deep breathing, making lifestyle changes, and setting healthy boundaries with others. Mindfulness is commonly used to increase self-awareness as well as to lower stress. Trauma-informed therapies can be used in clinical settings, including both inpatient and outpatient treatment centers, to promote whole-person healing.
Treatment centers can provide varying levels of care for trauma treatment. Treatment programs are intended to treat specific severities to ensure that you receive treatment appropriate for the long-term effects of your emotional trauma. Continue reading for a brief introduction to commonly used treatment programs for emotional abuse survivors:
A residential treatment facility is a live-in treatment environment that provides 24/7 care and support. Treatment commonly incorporates evidence-based approaches, holistic treatments, wellness programs, and psychiatric care. These programs are ideal for those experiencing moderate to severe effects and impairment from emotional abuse.
Outpatient treatment centers provide flexible treatment options, including weekly and biweekly therapy sessions. This can include individual and group sessions, depending on your needs. Outpatient programs are ideal for mild to moderate symptoms that can be managed independently. They may be used long-term, and tend to cause little to no disruption to your everyday life.
Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP) is an intensive outpatient program that resembles inpatient treatment programs. A key difference between PHPs and inpatient care is that PHPs allow you to return home in the evenings. Your full day of treatment can include therapy sessions, skill-building, support groups, and psychiatric care.
Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) is a middle ground between PHP and traditional outpatient programming. IOPs typically include a minimum of nine treatment hours each week, including individual and group therapy sessions. These treatment programs are often available in morning and hour sessions, allowing you to maintain work, academic, and personal responsibilities.

Healthcare facilities can use a variety of therapies and interventions to provide comprehensive care. The therapies used are often dependent on the challenges and symptoms that you experience. These therapies may be used in group or individual sessions. Commonly used therapies in emotional abuse treatment programs include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that can help you recognize unhealthy thoughts and beliefs that contribute to challenging emotions and unwanted behaviors. CBT can introduce you to coping skills and problem-solving skills, which can improve your self-esteem and emotional resilience.
EMDR is a trauma-informed therapy that can help you reprocess traumatic memories. EMDR sessions focus on one memory at a time and can be repeated for additional memories if necessary. This approach uses guided eye movements to help reduce the emotional distress associated with your traumatic memories.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy. This approach is used with those who have experienced trauma because it includes cognitive practices like cognitive restructuring, with processing strategies for trauma. This approach promotes emotional healing and overall well-being.
Dialectical behavior therapy can help you learn emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to cope with and manage psychological distress. This approach is helpful for those who are struggling with emotion dysregulation and intense emotions resulting from emotional trauma.
Somatic therapy is an approach that focuses on the connection between your mind and body. Somatic therapy can help bring your attention to trauma being stored in your body and working to release it. This can include the use of breathing techniques and movement exercises.
Psychodynamic therapy is a long-term therapy option that focuses on understanding how your experiences and unconscious thoughts contribute to your current challenges. With deeper self-awareness, you can learn to address these thoughts and work to improve your emotional well-being and interpersonal relationships.
Group therapy is commonly used in inpatient and outpatient holistic treatment centers. This approach can help reduce isolation and facilitate a sense of community with others. Group therapy allows you to connect with others, practice social skills, and learn from others’ experiences.
Family therapy can be used to address unhealthy relationship patterns and improve communication. Sessions can focus on rebuilding trust after emotional abuse, as this can affect everyone within the family unit. Family therapy is commonly incorporated into integrative treatment centers for whole-person care.
