"Dealing With Emotional Abuse" by Vanessa Miller

When dealing with emotion abuse systematic psychotherapy is important for the psychological well-being of the patient. Emotional abuse is physical and verbal, it can be traumatizing and cause the mind to dysfunction. In order to deal with emotional abuse most patients’ need to see a professional for help. Most people in society do not recognize the disruption in life that emotional abuse can have on the mental well-being of the patient. It is important for society to understand how emotional abuse affects the mind and how systematic psychotherapy can help.

Emotional abuse can be psychical or verbal. Physical abuse could permanently scar someone, let’s say there is a married couple and they have a very strong relationship, and one evening they are arguing, the husband loses control of himself and shoves his wife against the wall and chokes her at the same time. After this the woman is going to be traumatized and every time there is an argument, from then on she will feel like she has to keep her guard up. Why would she have to keep her guard up? Well this is the effects of the emotional abuse it gives you a different mindset that is not always settling. Verbal abuse is easy to display towards a person, it is normally discomforting. Verbal abuse of course is verbal and phrases that are used like “you’re ugly” or “why do you have those silly pants on” or maybe even “you’re stupid.” All of these examples can change what a person see themselves in reality. If it is heard enough it will then start to change how the person perceives themselves, abusing their minds.

Systematic psychotherapy can be helpful dealing with emotional abuse because it allows the patient to express themselves and get the real life thoughts out of their head. Anyone can benefit from these sessions, even if there is one session attended that could be very helpful. The art of letting our emotions come down from our brain and out of our mouth allows the body to release tension about the situation disrupting us. If you can combine this with a well trained professional this allows them to help us essentially because they are able to ask the right questions. Also most patients just need someone to actively listen and provide constructive feedback that way they feel like they are being understood.

There is no need for anyone no matter where they come from or where they were born to feel less than equal in society. For one not to be happy with themselves because what people say or how they are treated is not normal. A persons actions could turn deadly creating room for suicide and cutting, a modern way that people or displaying their feelings on their wrist, yet not going that deep. With the therapy it this can drastically change.

Now as explained in the beginning, we as people have to allow ourselves to be sensitive and not always be so over talkative and so judgmental that it affects the ones that we care most about or people we don’t know. Not all cases are seen by a professional, but the direction of the one person’s life can be changed just like that.
