Excerpt from the book:
“Verbal and emotional abuse
A toxic relationship often involves words and actions that are hurtful and abusive. These forms of abuse can include insults, humiliation, emotional manipulation and blackmail.
Verbal abuse is just as violent as any physical act,
because it destroys a person’s self-esteem and sense of identity.
Verbal abuse involves the use of derogatory, humiliating, threatening or offensive words, expressions or language to control, manipulate and emotionally harm another person. It can include insults, name-calling, constant criticism, ridicule, verbal threats and other forms of aggressive verbal communication.
Although verbal abuse is not physical, it is just as destructive and damaging. It affects the victim emotionally, undermining their self-esteem, self-confidence and sense of identity. Abusive words can make the victim feel devalued, worthless and inferior. This can lead to mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and even suicidal ideation.
Verbal abuse can also have a lasting impact on the victim’s life, affecting their ability to relate in a healthy way to others, set personal boundaries and trust themselves. It can create an environment of fear, insecurity and emotional isolation, where the victim feels they cannot express their opinions or truly be who they are.
It is important to recognize that verbal abuse is a form of violence and that no one should tolerate or justify this behavior. Often, verbal abuse is a sign of a wider abusive relationship, which can also include physical, sexual or emotional abuse.
In the context of abusive violence in a relationship, it is essential that the victim seeks support and assistance to get out of the situation. This may involve seeking help from friends, family, mental health professionals or organizations specializing in domestic violence.”
