	Emotional Abuse - an article by psychotherapist Kali Munro
		Emotional Abuse is Characterized by a Climate of Abuse
		Emotional abuse, if frequent enough, is usually internalized by the victim, and leaves them feeling fearful, insignificant, unworthy, untrusting, emotionally needy, undeserving and unlovable, and as if they were bad, deserving of punishment, and to blame.
