PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE

Psalm 139:13-17. “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!"


Psychological sexual abuse; These are the detrimental, sexually vulgar words that are spoken to a person over a period of time for the aim of demeaning a person ,that eventually turn out to be abusive. The perpetrators of psychological abuse always look for an emotionally vulnerable victim to abuse. This victim is a person who is emotionally codependent on the abuser.

The abuser will act narcissistic by blaming the victim for the abuse. Caution is needed to address these victims because they may not realize they are entangled in a Stockholm syndrome. This mostly happens within a sexual relationship and mostly within marriage. Where the partner is the only source of emotional support.

The victim is repeatedly abused due to her body weight, size, physical features, mental state, and ability or inability to perform sexually. These abuses become a sort of allegation against the partner. They appear as some sort of tattooed weaknesses on the victim. She seems to see them as an inbred part of who she is.

Name calling, public humiliation, cyber shaming, malicious jokes, bullying and many other ways of demonstrations are performed to demean the victim. This is not necessarily based on true facts but on the bad character of the abuser. The victims carry in life a demeaned self worth, a spirit of inferiority and a pursuit to better themselves which may not always be healthy.

Psychological sexual abuse is not mostly reported because of shame as well as fear of the abuser. In most cases the victims will be able to recover if she speaks out the abuse to an empathetic third party. The case of psychological sexual abuse is serious because it is traumatizing. It falls in the category of sexual abuse because the victim verbal abuse is based on sex.

The treatment of these cases is the same as for the cases of rape, molestation or even sex slavery. There should go through series of the Truth of the Word of God which is a pure base of who they truly are. They should also isolate themselves from their abusers no matter the bond. They should find a group who care about them and are genuinely open to discussing body shaming, cyber abuse, bullying and so forth.

They should partake in the healing process of renewing their minds to becoming the woman they never thought they are; a true beloved beautiful daughter of God. Negative influences should be broken, a wrong pattern of life should be stopped and adopted by a healthy pattern of life. Taking the time out of sexual relationships until the have fully gain confidence and self worth.
