What is emotional abuse?
Emotional abuse can be many things. Emotional abuse is used as a control and manipulation tactic. It can happen in any scenario: at work, at school, within families, between parents and children, and between siblings.
Getting to know narcissistic abuse
One in four Australian women suffers emotional abuse from a partner. One of the types of emotional abuse someone can experience is narcissistic abuse.
Covert manipulation – are you experiencing it?
I’ve witnessed a lot of clients in the past talk about a very concerning type of behaviour that is very underhanded and can be distressing. Known as covert manipulation.
It’s part of the cycle of abuse that can happen when you’re in a relationship or interacting with someone that is manipulative. Whilst all types of manipulation is toxic and underhanded, this covert stuff can be potentially quite damaging. And it’s different in its own sense and holds an even deeper layer of manipulation. It can often even have a hidden or underlying energy to it. So it’s worth identifying and discussing.
