Emotional Abuse
Let’s talk about that for a moment.
“Oh, it’s just the way H/She is.”
That may be true, but it is a form of POWER & CONTROL
It is one of eight categories on the wheel
It includes, but is not limited to
•putting him/her down
•making him/her feel bad about him/her self
•calling him/her names
•making him/her this h/she is crazy
•playing mind games
•humiliating him/her
• making him/her feel guilty
The other categories on the power and control wheel are: intimidation; isolation; minimizing, denying & blaming; using children, economic abuse; male/female privilege; coercion and threats.
