Stop Living in an Emotionally Abusive Relationship

February 23, 2022

Do you ever feel that someone treats you in a way that forces you to feel isolated, manipulated and controlled? He (or she) shrewdly and covertly makes you believe that he’s a worthy person and you’re not. If this is a familiar theme in one or more of your relationships, it’s time to regain your self-value, self-respect and seek therapy. 

 

While dealing with emotional abuse can make life depressing and highly unpleasant, there are many ways to help you break this vicious cycle. The office of Hackensack is devoted to the compassionate care of every patient. We maintain a position at the forefront of advances in treatment and offer effective solutions. 

 

If you are being or have been emotionally abused, it’s not your fault and you don’t deserve it. Emotional abuse can come from anyone in your life: friends, family, coworkers, bosses and romantic partners. You may not even recognize that their psychological manipulation stems from their pathological, intense and insatiable need to feel better about themselves.  

 

Some indications of emotional abuse include:

  • insulting remarks.
  • ridiculing.
  • attempting to make you doubt your memory, perception or sanity (known as gaslighting).
  • invading your privacy.
  • exhibiting extreme attention-seeking behaviors.
  • lacking empathy.
  • separating you from friends, family and support systems.
  • threats of punishment.
  • constant berating, yelling and screaming.

 

Nourishing, symbiotic and functional relationships include taking care of one another, respecting each other and listening to the other’s concerns.

Being able to sit with, process and understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviors is a healing experience. Therapy helps with perspective and uncovering things we don’t know or choose to avoid about ourselves. 

 

When you’re searching for a therapy practice that’s dedicated to providing the topmost standard of personalized treatments, look no further than the office of Hackensack. We offer an extensive menu of high-quality psychological services for people of all ages. For more information about how we can help you, please contact us today.
