The tongue has no bones but is strong enough to break a heart. People who were verbally abused as children grow up to be self-critical adults prone to depression and anxiety. The effects of verbal abuse can be long lasting and devastating. They range from constant broken relationships, frequently undermining your belief in yourself to interfering with your ability to achieve goals and to bond with others.
Therapy can help you understand the impact of emotional abuse and to learn healthier ways of relating to others and caring for your own needs.
