What does abuse really do to your brain? Whether it’s emotional abuse, psychological manipulation, or physical violence, trauma doesn’t just hurt in the moment—it can actually rewire your brain.

In this video, we dive into the psychology of abuse and explain how it affects your emotions, memory, decision-making, and relationships. From emotional numbness to anxiety and trust issues, we break down what’s really going on inside the brain of someone who’s been through trauma.

If you’ve ever struggled with the long-term effects of abuse or want to better understand someone who has, this video is for you.
