    These behaviors can go unnoticed when we are blinded by love. Do you want to know what they are? Domestic violence is a social concern of the highest order. The institutions have been involved in prevention, recognition and aid campaigns against physical abuse, alarmed by the number of deaths that occur in our country due to gender violence.

    But there is another form of more silent abuse, where there are no blows, no trauma, or blood, an abuse that is very difficult to detect that can end up completely diluting the person who suffers it. It is about psychological abuse and there are many signs to recognize it.

    Psychological abuse is the emotional abuse that one person exerts on another with the aim of creating discomfort or pressure; This type of abuse is made up of a series of hurtful attitudes, behaviors or words that affect the couple, damaging their self-esteem, their decision-making capacity or their relationship with others.

    In most cases, the psychologically abused person is incapable of recognizing the aggressions and by the time he realizes it, he is without resources and without strength to face the situation. For this reason, the support of family and friends is essential, although it is not easy for others to recognize the signs of this psychological abuse, which can be disguised as overprotective attitudes.

    Signs of psychological abuse

     You have to be very attentive to certain behaviors that may be an indication that psychological abuse is taking place. Ignoring the feelings of the abused person, ridiculing him in private and in public, criticizing and humiliating him, not valuing his work or ideas, or reprimanding him for his behavior. You can also observe an attitude of not letting her make any decisions, assuming control of their lives, manipulating her into believing that she is always wrong, threatening her with abandonment, etc.

    These are just a few signs of psychological abuse, because as we say, it takes countless forms. Sometimes it is an excessively paternalistic behavior to prevent the victim from developing their own identity.

    There are not always screams and threats involved; sometimes it is a subtle manipulation strategy disguised as affection, until the abused person is left completely defenseless.

    If you know someone who is suffering psychological abuse, get in touch with aid associations, because specialists are needed to make the abused person see reality.
