Over time, the person may start second-guessing themselves. They may wonder whether they are worthy of the abuse. This extent of self-doubt and self-hatred is triggered when the perpetrator of the abuse continually brings the victim down through their words and actions. They emotionally hurt, manipulate, gaslight, and torment the victim. As they play mind games with them, the perpetrator feels a sense of power and satisfaction that pushes them to inflict greater emotional abuse on the victim. Hence, the cycle of abuse begins. 

At Calming Streams Online Counseling, we understand how damaging emotional abuse can be for the victim’s self-esteem, self-confidence, and sense of self-respect. They may lose themselves along the way and become emotionally frail and decrepit. Our job is to steadily undo the damage.

Our empathetic counselors work closely with victims to help them heal. We start by helping them understand that they did not deserve the abuse that was hurled at them. In many cases, victims of emotional abuse begin to think they did something wrong that put them in such a vile situation. In actuality, the onus is 100% on the perpetrator. By helping victims absolve themselves of any blame, guilt, or shame, we make it easier for them to embrace the healing process.

If you’re struggling to heal from past, recent, or ongoing emotional abuse, reach out to our counselors. We have extensive experience in helping victims find their inner strength, resilience, courage, confidence, and value again. Over the years, we’ve worked with countless people who have been struggling to heal the wounds of their emotional abuse and trauma.

It’s possible that you were trapped in an emotionally abuse relationship/marriage. It’s also possible that someone very close to you (a parent, sibling, or child) was emotionally abusive towards you. It’s also possible that you’ve experienced emotional abuse online. We’ll gradually work with you and understand the root cause of the trauma. This process is essential in starting your healing journey. As you understand that the emotional abuse you experienced had nothing to do with you and everything to do with your abuser, you’ll start to see yourself in a different light.

We ultimately want each person to live a happy, emotionally healthy and secure, safe, free, and empowered life. If you’re looking for an emotional abuse counselor in Douglassville, Georgia, reach out to us today. By helping you heal, we’ll turn the page and walk you through a new door—one that isn’t filled with the emotional hurdles and pain you experienced in the past.
