Psychological abuse is common and yet few understand the psychological abuse definition enough to spot it. Without the visible signs of physical abuse, psychological abuse can stay hidden for years.
Psychological abuse, though, can be just as devastating as physical abuse. Psychological abuse can affect your inner thoughts and feelings as well as exert control over your life. You may feel uncertain of the world around you and unsafe in your own home.
Signs and symptoms of psychological abuse include:
- Name calling
- Yelling
- Insulting the person
- Threatening the person or threatening to take away something that is important to them
- Imitating or mocking the person
- Swearing at them
- Ignoring
- Isolating the person
- Excluding them from meaningful events or activities
Psychological abuse can destroy intimate relationships, friendships and even your own relationship with yourself.
