7 情感虐待的警告信號

Emotional abuse is defined as the repeated degrading of another person’s mental health and well-being through nonphysical actions. Even if a family member, 朋友, or romantic partner doesn’t get physically violent with you, they could still be emotionally abusing you. 情感虐待, verbal abuse and psychological abuse are also harder to spot than physical abuse because the signs are generally less obvious than physical evidence of abuse. 然而, being in an emotionally abusive relationship can cause low self-esteem, 創傷後應激障礙, depression and other mental health problems.
