Today I want to talk with you  about emotional abuse.

That this was a topic that you really wanted me to dive deeper into.

Sometimes, and some therapists and  researchers believe.

Because it can undermine what we really think about ourselves.

Our whole belief about who we are, and what we're going to do with our lives.

Without us sometimes even recognising that they are there.

The first sign or symptom  of emotional abuse is:

Like I said, often times we don't  notice these things are happening.

Is, are they putting you down in  front of others?

Do they use sarcasm as a way to hurt you?

They tell you that you are  being too sensitive.

Like when you tell them that certain things have made you feel a certain way.

They tell you that you are  completely wrong or off base.

Because each of these little  things that can happen.

It can really eat away at how  we feel about ourselves.

And our confidence when we  walk into a room.

Because we are being put down in front of people all the time.

The second sign or symptom  of emotional abuse is:

When someone is dominating  or controlling your life.

I don't mean someone who is just 'controlling'.

And they will, when you tell them  about plans that you have.

And they act like they are just superior to you.

Is something that they have control over.

Sometimes I have patients  who have told me,

To make very small decisions  without calling that person.

Because they've been under  their control for so long.

They can forget how to even think for themselves.

The third sign or symptom  of emotional abuse is:

That would be ridiculous  to ask them to do so.

Often these people will blame all of their problems onto other people.

And they tend to highlight  your short comings.

And make you apologise when  you've done nothing wrong.

These people just tend to feel that they do everything best.

The fourth sign or symptom  of emotional abuse is:

They give us the 'silent treatment' when  we have done something bad.

Or we might not even know what  we have done wrong.

And that is most often the case when it's emotional abuse.

They will stay in a locked  bedroom in the back.

They will withhold affection or attention.

They are going to show up for  a play or something.
