As Mission Prep’s guide explains, emotional abuse in teenagers is a pervasive issue that often goes unrecognized due to its non-physical nature and the tendency to mistake its effects for ‘normal’ adolescent behavior.
However, emotional abuse—which can take the form of verbal attacks, gaslighting, isolation, invasion of privacy, excessive control, or bullying—can profoundly disrupt a young person’s social, emotional, and physical development.
As Mission Prep’s own research highlights, teenagers, sadly, are also particularly vulnerable to abuse due to the rapid changes of adolescence and the normalization of unhealthy relationship dynamics in popular media.
The consequences of such abuse can range from diminished self-esteem, mood swings, and social withdrawal to more severe outcomes, including self-harm and difficulty forming healthy relationships.
What is salient is that the impact of emotional abuse, especially severe abuse, extends far beyond immediate distress, with evidence showing both short- and long-term harm to mental and physical health. In the short term, teens may experience confusion, shame, and physical ailments such as digestive problems or fatigue, while prolonged exposure can lead to changes in brain function, depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
Thankfully, as Mission Prep’s guide explains, there are some simple yet effective coping strategies that teens can try themselves, and that loved ones and caregivers can offer support with, including expressive writing and therapeutic breathwork.
However, Mission Prep recommends that professional intervention is essential, especially in cases of severe or prolonged abuse.
As they explained, professional therapists can offer evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help adolescents to process distressing thoughts and develop coping strategies. At their welcoming centers, their knowledgeable team also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to aid in reducing the impact of traumatic memories and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to provide practical tools for managing strong emotions and stress.
Mission Prep also uses and advocates for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which offers a non-invasive method to rebalance brain activity and improve mood stability, and trauma-informed mindfulness practices, which are designed to provide a safe environment for survivors, helping them regulate emotions without re-triggering past trauma.
Their spokesperson said, “Mission Prep’s team of trained professionals offers individualized, effective care for teens who have experienced emotional abuse. We aim to understand each teenager’s needs to provide the best form of treatment for them - in a safe, empathetic way.”
