Trauma: "Am I Being Abused? Or Am I The Abuser?" - Psychotherapy Crash Course

Описание: It seems like the older some people get in their lives, the more they begin to question the stability of relationships. Some people, who may have never thought before, recognize they were abused.

Abuse is a very difficult topic to discuss with my clients. It is even more difficult to accept when it you are the target of the abuser. Abuse can come in many forms, even sneaky forms, and it takes not only experience with people and relationships but also appropriate boundaries to cope.

Abuse can be described as any act that creates some form of suffering for the target of the abuse. The targeted person can suffer multiple emotional and psychological wounds, even if the abuse is physical. The psychological and emotional wounds can lead to decreased self-esteem, fear, uncertainty, lack of motivation, anhedonia (lack of pleasure in things once desired or enjoyed), and mental health symptoms.
