Psychological violence is a form of violence based on manipulation, threats, insults, isolation and other actions that cause psychological harm to the victim of violence. What types of psychological violence are there? Humiliation: constant insults, humiliation and derogatory remarks in front of other people. Isolation: being cut off from friends, family and social support, controlling all communications and contacts. Threats and blackmail: threats of physical violence, suicide or threats to undermine the victim's reputation. Manipulation: using false information , manipulation of feelings, creating feelings of guilt and devaluing the person (victim). Constant criticism: constant reproaches, criticism and degradation of dignity. Intimate violence: violence in relationships, including sexual abuse, rape and forced control of sexual life. Economic violence: control over finances and resources, restricting access to money and independence. Social exclusion: preventing the victim from having social connections, participating in activities or working. Protection from psychological abuse includes several important steps. Here are some recommendations: Know the signs of psychological abuse: Do your research and become familiar with the signs of psychological abuse so you can recognize it. Include signs such as humiliation, insults, threats, isolation, manipulation and control over your life. Set boundaries: Define your boundaries and learn to protect them. Be clear and confident that you will not tolerate psychological abuse. Become assertive and do not allow anyone to violate your boundaries. Develop emotional competence: Work on developing emotional competence so that you can be more confident and resilient in the face of psychological abuse. This may include learning to manage your emotions, developing empathy, and improving communication skills. Find support: Seek support from trusted people in your life, such as friends, family, or professional counselors. Tell them about your situation and get advice and support from them. Limit contact with the abuser: If possible, limit contact with the person who is mentally abusive towards you. Try to set boundaries and, if this does not help, it may be necessary to stop communicating with such people completely. Get professional help: If psychological abuse is having a significant negative effect on your life and well-being, seek professional help. A psychologist or therapist can help you understand the situation, develop defense strategies, and restore your emotional well-being. It is important to remember that each situation is different, and that actions that may be effective in one case may not work in another. If you feel that your safety is at risk, immediately seek help from law enforcement agencies or organizations specializing in helping victims of violence.
