Ways Of Seeking Suitable Emotional Abuse Counseling

By Patty Goff


When a person designs subjugate or control for another person by posing fear, verbal utterances, corporeal assault and humiliation is considered as an abuse. Emotional abuse counseling services assist individuals who have encountered such assaults. These strategies are essential in helping individuals who have experienced abuse such as criticism and verbal abuse and other behaviors like manipulation, refusal to be pleased and intimidation.

It is like brain wash that is, systematically wearing away at the self-confidence of the victims, sense of worth, self concept and trust in their attitudes and perceptions. Whether this is done by constant intimidation, belittling and berating or under guise of teaching, guidance or advice, the results are often similar. In most cases the recipient of such abuses loses all sense of self as well as remnant of personal value. This psychological torture cuts to every core of a person thereby creating scars which are far deeper and more lasting than physical ones.

This kind of abuse can be categories into the following three dimensions. That is manifestation in abusive behavioral patterns such as denying, aggressive and minimizing

This can include a situation the authority through validating or judging the victim and undermining the equality and autonomy that is significant for a healthy relationship. This practice is common in communication between a parent and a child.

Aggressive abuse can takes a scenario whereby the abuser distinguishes him or her as assisting. For example, in their attempt to assist, they criticize, advising, analyzing, advising, offers solution and questioning sincerity of such assistance. In some situations these behaviors can be an attempt to belittle, control demean rather than offering help. This is often associated with I know it all attitude. The approach is creates unequal footing and inappropriate.

Another type of denying is withholding. This includes refuse to communicate, refusing to listen and emotionally retreating as a punishment. Psychologist often refers to this action as the quiet treatment. Countering is where the abuser perceives the recipient as extension to them as well as denies any viewpoints or feeling that differs from their own.

Minimizing is seen as minor form of denial by most psychologists. For example, telling the victims that they are sensitive, blowing things out of proportions and exaggerating. Meaning the victims interpretations, emotional perceptions and attitudes are incorrect and should not be depended on.

Trivializing also occurs when the abuser suggest that what is done or said by the recipient in unimportant or inconsequential. This is a subtle type of minimizing. Minimizing and denying can be damaging. In addition to creating conflict, lowering esteem and not validating reality, experiences and feelings can lead people questioning and mistrusting their emotional and perceptions of experiences of the victims.
