What is emotional abuse? What does it look like when there are no bruises or broken arms?

Have you ever been told by a partner, friend or family member, "I know you better than you know yourself"? What about “you don’t have my best interests at heart”? Do you feel constantly gaslit, misled or made to feel inferior and unworthy of love?

It may seem benign and unintentional, but when these are patterns of behaviour (they are consistent and persistent) they become more than just momentary lapses in judgement or careless words - they become tactics used to shut up and shut down.

Seeing these patterns can help us avoid these relationships or navigate them more effectively when we have to.
