verbal abuse

Verbal abuse is a form of emotional abuse that involves using words to harm another person. It can include:

• Insults: Calling someone names or making derogatory remarks.
• Threats: Intimidating or threatening someone with violence or harm.
• Yelling: Raising your voice or shouting at someone.
• Gaslighting: Making someone doubt their own sanity or reality.
• Criticism: Constantly finding fault with someone or their actions.

Verbal abuse can be just as harmful as physical abuse and can have a lasting impact on a person’s mental health.
