Psychology abuse vs emotional abuse

I've written a blog about emotional abuse before, however I will provide a quick summary.

Emotional abuse is a form of mistreatment in which one person manipulates, controls, or harms another person's emotions, self-esteem, or mental well-being. It involves tactics such as criticism, humiliation, intimidation, gaslighting, belittling, isolation, and constant put-downs. Emotional abuse can result in long-lasting psychological effects, causing the victim to experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulty trusting others.

What is the difference between emotional abuse and psychological abuse? I’m glad you asked.

Psychological abuse and emotional abuse are closely related terms and are often used interchangeably. However, there can be some subtle differences between the two:

Psychological abuse generally refers to the use of tactics or behaviors that manipulate, control, or undermine a person's mental and emotional well-being. It can encompass various forms of abuse, including emotional abuse. Psychological abuse may involve tactics like gaslighting, manipulation, threats, constant criticism, and demeaning behavior.

Emotional abuse specifically focuses on the intentional acts or patterns of behavior that harm someone's emotions or sense of self-worth. It involves tactics such as humiliation, belittlement, derogatory or hurtful comments, and invalidation. Emotional abuse is aimed at attacking a person's self-esteem, confidence, and emotional stability.

While these terms may have slight differences in emphasis or scope, it is important to understand that both psychological and emotional abuse are harmful and can have severe consequences on a person's mental well-being.

You may be reading this and suddenly realise that you have suffered both forms of abuse. I would strongly recommend that you do not ignore the effects that this trauma can have on you Just because you can't see emotional psychological wounds doesn't mean that they are not there. What if your behavior patterns are directly linked to the trauma you encountered?

I say this to advise that you get help. For example speaking to a councillor or GP are very good options. You may be further on in the healing journey already and therefore there is not alot to work through. But even so a whole version of you is far better than and semi functional version.
