Common approaches to Emotional abuse counseling

Leaf Seperator

Starting Emotional abuse counseling

What is emotional abuse counseling?

Emotional abuse counseling helps victims heal from abusive relationships. Examples of emotional abuse may include:

  • Blaming others for their own behavior.
  • Publicly mocking, humiliating, name-calling, embarrassing, criticizing.
  • Separating someone from their family and friends.
  • Withholding affection or love.
  • Downplaying another person’s experiences, perspectives, emotions, or thoughts.
  • Using or objectifying people.
  • Denying access to money, medical care, food, transportation, or other crucial resources.
  • Using guilt, threats, or intimidation.

How does emotional abuse counseling work?

Emotional abuse counseling with our Thriveworks therapists in Columbus 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.

Is emotional abuse counseling conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does emotional abuse counseling last?

Emotional abuse counseling with one of our Thriveworks therapists in Columbus, OH can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.

Understanding Emotional Abuse

Emotional abuse is harmful and often difficult to recognize. It typically starts subtly, with the abuser using manipulative tactics that gradually erode your self-esteem and sense of control. Here are some common signs of emotional abuse:

  • Controlling money and spending
  • Constantly belittling or pointing out flaws
  • Accusing you of things you never did
  • Using silent treatment as punishment
  • Controlling who you see or where you go
  • Making hurtful jokes
  • Objectifying you
  • Using guilt as a weapon

These behaviors aim to exert control over you and can occur in any type of relationship, including romantic partners, friends, coworkers, bosses, or family members.

Long-Term Effects of Emotional Abuse

Prolonged emotional abuse can lead to significant long-term effects such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Other symptoms include:

  • Chronic low self-esteem
  • Difficulty voicing personal concerns and feelings
  • Hyper-vigilance and anxiety
  • Feeling that nothing you do is ever enough
  • Distrust in the validity of personal memories and perceptions

Healing from emotional abuse is possible, and Thriveworks Columbus is committed to helping you through this journey.

What to Expect in Emotional Abuse Therapy

Therapy for emotional abuse begins with the crucial step of leaving any abusive relationships. Thriveworks Columbus counselors will support you throughout this process by:

  • Understanding and coming to terms with your experiences
  • Developing coping methods
  • Building healthy relationships

I highly recommend Brianna Sheridan and her expertise as a therapist. I have had the pleasure to know Brianna for several years and have worked with her as a colleague.

I recently started utilizing Thriveworks and my counselor is amazing! I have seen a few therapists over the years, but she is the first that I feel has real tools that work for me. I am an overly analytical person, and she has introduced me to so many new ways to think about various problems, new and old, that have given me a fresh perspective. Today was the second day in my short time here that I left with that "mind blown" feeling, and today I couldn’t believe the positive feelings I had on these new approaches she provided me. Also, which is the best part of course, the office is so peaceful and calming, the staff are all incredible, and just walking in the door makes me de-stress quite a bit. I definitely recommend giving Thriveworks a shot if you are looking for a welcoming place! Go Buckeyes!
