Emotional Abuse Signs

Emotional abuse signs can vary, depending on what type of relationship you are in. For instance, emotional abuse can appear differently during childhood, during school with friends, at work with co-workers, with family members, or with your significant other.

However, here are some general signs of emotional abuse, regardless of what type of relationship you are in:

• Inability to feel your emotions.
• Inability to express yourself in a healthy manner.
• Anger/Hostility.
• Mental illnesses (i.e. depression, anxiety).
• Low Self-Esteem.

These signs, I believe, are the biggest signs to look for.

How do you begin healing from emotional abuse?

1. Become aware of the emotions you are hiding from and why.
2. Talking kindly to yourself through the process of developing awareness.
3. Know that you have the right to all of your emotions. You can be sad, happy, bored, satisfied, excited, angry, etc.
4. Talk to others. Once you are aware of your emotions and that it's okay to feel the way you do, you can communicate this to others.
5. Allow others to have their emotions and don't take their emotions personal. This piece of advice is vital for your personal relationships.

The above signs of emotional abuse are there to help you pay attention to your emotions. If you are having any mental health or low self-esteem issues, it may be best to pay attention to the relationships you are in or whether or not you are communicating in a healthy manner.
