There are no bruises to heal, no gaping wound to point to. But, in spite of their invisibility, emotional wounds are a very damaging form of abuse. Indifference can be seen as emotional abuse and is very common-yet often overlooked.

In this helpful guide, Christian therapist Gregory Jantz examines why emotional abuse is so common and damaging. He reveals how those who have been abused by a spouse, parent, employer, or minister can overcome the past and rebuild their self-image. There is hope!
