You might think of emotional abuse as something intense and violent.
You can stretch emotional abuse to forms that are way subtler than that.
Here are some examples:
โข Repeated exposure to manipulation
โข Extreme sadness
โข Love and attention deprivation
โข Constant exposure to drama
โข Lack of material security
โข Neglect
โข Etc
Imagine what happens when a kid is exposed throughout childhood to these energies.
They will leave trauma!
