Is my relationship abusive?

It’s not uncommon to have difficulty recognizing the dangers in your relationship. Many people in toxic or abusive relationships don’t recognize the red flags until they’ve been in it for a while or even only after the relationship is over. Whether it's emotional manipulation, gaslighting, physical violence, or constant criticism, it can be difficult to identify what’s happening—especially if you're emotionally invested.

Domestic violence isn’t just physical—it can be emotional, psychological, and financial too. The scars left by domestic violence can take years to heal, the impact of this type of abuse changes the way you see yourself and the world. Your relationship with yourself, your judgment, and future relationships are impacted. You may feel like you can’t trust yourself, that somehow the abuse was deserved, or something you brought on yourself.

Unpacking the impact of abuse takes time. Whether you’ve recently left an abusive relationship or are just beginning to navigate the healing process, you don’t have to face it alone.

Therapy for Narcissistic and Emotional Abuse

Emotional abuse, including narcissistic abuse, can leave deep and lasting wounds. You may feel confused, invalidated, or emotionally drained—constantly questioning your worth or even your sense of reality. Narcissistic abuse often involves manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional neglect, leaving you trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and shame. These harmful patterns can take a significant toll on your mental health, eroding your confidence and trust in yourself.

Relational trauma from emotional or narcissistic abuse doesn’t only affect how you see yourself—it can also impact your ability to trust others and form healthy connections. Whether you’ve experienced control, betrayal, or neglect in a toxic relationship—with a partner, parent, or friend—these wounds can shape your sense of self and your relationships long after the abuse ends.
