In this episode the speaker, Megan Sircy, explains that Emotional abuse, also known as psychological abuse, is a form of abuse that can lead to psychological trauma, such as anxiety, chronic depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder. It can manifest in various forms, such as constant criticism, humiliation, dismissal of feelings, manipulation, threats, and isolation. Key indicators of emotional abuse include a lack of self-confidence, co-dependence, and isolation. It is fundamentally about control, with abusers employing tactics to undermine the victim's self-esteem and worth. Recognizing these signs is crucial for identifying and seeking support.
