Emotional abuse and control can be subtle and confusing and it often unfolds slowly, eroding your sense of self, leaving you doubting your instincts, and sometimes even questioning your own reality.

 

You might find yourself stuck in cycles of blame, apology, or trying harder to make things right—even when nothing seems to work and while you are in this relationship, you may not even realize that it is toxic or abusive. 

​

It’s not uncommon to feel intensely attached to the person causing harm. You may still feel love, longing, or even a sense of emotional dependency that’s hard to explain or break away from. These bonds can be powerful, especially when moments of kindness or connection are mixed with control or criticism.

​

Over time, emotional abuse can leave you feeling isolated, anxious, or unsure of who you are but your experience is real—and you deserve support.

​

Therapy can offer a safe, grounded space to begin making sense of what you’ve been through or are going through, reconnect with your inner clarity, and gently rebuild trust in yourself.
