Collection: Abuse by Words

Abuse by words (2021)

Verbal abuse usually happens in private where no one else can intervene and eventually becomes a regular form of communication within a relationship. For people experiencing it, verbal abuse is often isolating since it chips away at your self-esteem making it more difficult to reach out to a friend. Many people who experience it rationalize the abuse in their mind and don’t even realize it’s an unhealthy form of
communication. But that doesn’t make it any less distressing or mentally exhausting for people on the receiving end.

Ultimately, verbal abuse is a means of maintaining power and control over another in the relationship.
