Emotional and psychological abuse0 is a pervasive form of domestic violence that undermines a woman's mental well-being and sense of self. Unlike physical abuse, its effects are often invisible but equally damaging. Here are the key aspects:
Forms of Emotional and Psychological Abuse
1. Verbal Assaults: Includes constant criticism, name-calling, yelling, and humiliating the victim.
2. Manipulation: Abusers may use guilt, blame, or denial to control their victims, making them doubt their own perceptions and feelings.
3. Isolation: The abuser may isolate the victim from friends, family, and other support systems to increase dependency.
4. Intimidation: Using threats, destruction of property, or displays of power to instill fear.
5. Gaslighting: A form of manipulation where the abuser makes the victim question their reality, memories, and sanity.
6. Emotional Withholding: Deliberately ignoring, giving the silent treatment, or withholding affection to punish or control the victim.

Physical abuse is a form of domestic violence involving the use of physical force to injure or endanger another person. Common forms include hitting, slapping, punching, kicking, choking, and using weapons. This type of abuse often follows a cyclical pattern of tension, acute violence, and reconciliation, trapping victims in a loop of violence.
The effects of physical abuse are severe, leading to physical injuries like bruises, broken bones, and chronic health issues. It also causes significant psychological trauma, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD, alongside fear and social isolation.
Victims face numerous barriers to leaving abusive relationships, such as fear of escalation, economic dependence, emotional attachment, lack of support, and cultural pressures. Legal measures like restraining orders, shelters, counseling, and support groups are crucial in helping victims escape and recover from abuse.
