What Are The Signs Of Verbal Abuse?

Verbal abuse is a form of emotional abuse that can leave deep scars on a person's psyche. Unlike physical abuse, it can be difficult to recognize and often goes unnoticed. In this video, we explore the signs of verbal abuse and how to identify them. We discuss the different forms of verbal abuse, including name-calling, belittling, gaslighting, and threatening, and their impact on victims.

We also delve into the psychological effects of verbal abuse, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Learn how to spot the red flags of verbal abuse in yourself or others and what steps to take to get help and support.

Whether you're a survivor of verbal abuse, a concerned friend or family member, or just curious about the topic, this video offers a comprehensive guide to understanding the impact of words and the signs of verbal abuse.
