Importance Of Seeking 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 systematic strategy to wear away the confidence of those involved, their self-concept, self-worth as well as the trust of their own perceptions. Results are often similar whether it is done through consistent belittling, intimidation and under guise of guidance, teaching or advice. In most scenarios, the recipient of such psychological torture loses their senses and remnant of personal value. It cuts every core of an individual and creates a mark that is deeper and lasting compared to physical ones.

Emotional abuse can be categorized into three major dimensions. That is denying, minimizing and aggressive. Aggressive is viewed as a form of emotional abuse such as name calling, accusing, blaming, threatening and ordering the victim.

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.

The first form of denying occurs through invalidation that is when the abuser seeks to undermine or distorts the perception of the recipient about their world. For example when the victims confront the abuser of about name calling incident, the abuser may insist that he never said that and unaware of whatever is being said among others.

The first form of denial occurs by invalidation whereby the abuser tends to distorts or undermines the perception of the victim about the world. This can be witnessed in a situation where the recipient may confront the abuser about an incident and the abusers insisting that they did not say such information or are not aware of things being said.

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.

According to most psychologists, minimizing is less form of denial. In this case the abuser does not denies a particular action or event but questions the reactions of the victim to emotional experiences or emotional. This includes telling the victim that he or she is exaggerating, being sensitive or blowing out certain things of proportion. This means that one is simply suggesting that the emotions and perceptions of victims are incorrect as well as should not be trusted and only your experiences or point of view is correct and should be depended on.
