Over half of adults experience some form of emotional abuse in their lifetimes, according to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. Mission Connection's guide notes that this abuse can take the form of prolonged gaslighting, belittling, threats, or other methods that reinforce helplessness and dependence in the victim while eroding their self-worth. These dynamics appear most often in romantic relationships, but can also occur in familial and professional settings.
Mission Connection's guide also notes that emotional abuse can have lasting effects on mental health and the ability to form new relationships, with depression and anxiety among the most common symptoms. Survivors may also experience difficulty sleeping or concentrating, and physical symptoms such as body aches related to prolonged stress. Self-blame is also a frequent response, the guide adds, even when the individual had no control over the dynamic in their relationship.
Because emotional abuse frequently results in trauma, Mission Connection's guide notes that psychotherapy is often recommended to support recovery. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one approach offered by Mission Connection and other licensed mental health providers, given its evidence-based effectiveness in reframing negative thought patterns and building resilience. Other options include dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-informed care, the latter of which draws on a range of therapeutic methods with a particular focus on addressing unprocessed trauma.
Outside of formal treatment, Mission Connection's guide recommends that individuals, where possible, create distance from an abusive relationship, establish healthy boundaries, and build a reliable support network. Prioritizing self-care is also encouraged as a way to maintain both mental and physical well-being.
