This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle unpacks emotional abuse in romantic relationships what it is, how it manifests, why it’s often difficult to identify, and the long-term impact it can have on your nervous system, self-worth and sense of reality. Many people only recognize abuse when it becomes physical. But emotional abuse can be quieter, subtler and deeply destabilizing. It can look like gaslighting, emotional withdrawal, control disguised as love, walking on eggshells, chronic criticism, emotional unpredictability and constantly second-guessing yourself.
In this episode, Adelle explores:
What emotional abuse actually isThe psychology behind gaslighting and trauma bondsWhy emotionally abusive relationships are difficult to leaveHow emotional abuse impacts your nervous systemSigns a relationship may be emotionally unsafeRebuilding self-trust after emotional harmThe episode also references insights from therapists and trauma experts including Dr. Ramani Durvasula, Dr. Gabor Maté, Nedra Glover Tawwab and Lundy Bancroft.
