Domestic Violence, Why Emotional Abuse May Be Harder To Heal From

I speak and write on recovering from Grief, Loss and Trauma. Physical abuse is usually far less treacherous than the psychological and emotional abuse. The worst part of victimhood is the dread, the fear of what can happen, the fear of what an abuser could do, That is really what’s at the core of understanding the stress of such a relationship. A victim of domestic violence lives in a heightened state of vigilance, tiptoeing around an abuser every minute of every day.
