Recognising emotional abuse in relationships can be remarkably complex. The ongoing distortion of reality, chronic blame-shifting, and subtle control tactics often leave individuals doubting their own perceptions, eroding their confidence, and questioning their worth. Over time, emotional abuse depletes a person mentally, emotionally, and physically - resulting in confusion, guilt, and isolation.

This presentation equips psychologists with the tools to identify the patterns and dynamics of emotional abuse and to support clients with clarity and care. You will learn how to recognise the hallmarks of emotional abuse, explain its effects to clients, and guide them toward meaningful recovery - without inadvertently reinforcing harm.

Topics include:

• The 3 Ds of Emotional Abuse: Disrespect, Distort, and Disempower
• The mental and physical impact of chronic emotional abuse
• How psychologists can safely support clients experiencing emotional abuse
• What actually helps clients in these relationships - and what doesn’t
