In this video I talk about the difficulty a woman has when seeking therapeutic help from a mental health professional for issues of psychological abuse within her marriage or primary relationship. I am referring to when a person lives with the often constant undermining words, actions or attitudes of her partner, until she is emotionally exhausted, and her own sense of personal worth is in question. I give a few examples of the type of hinting that occurs and comments that are said directly that can demean and debilitate a person, leaving her feeling as though she has no value to her spouse.

Assuming a counseling therapist has been chosen that understands this type of psychological abuse and has experience with emotionally damaged people, how do you go about presenting your situation? So many women feel that they have to prove to the therapist that they have a legitimate concern; however the fact that there is frustration with trying to fix the condition of the relationship and make it work with a partner is enough reason to seek assistance from a qualified mental health professional without having to explain beyond that.

Take a look at this video and please feel free to ask questions or give feedback.

With You in Mind,
