STOP Mental Abuse - Did you encounter these signs?

Discussing mental abuse is not a simple matter, however, it's crucial to be aware of its signs and symptoms if you are facing or contemplating it. Mental abuse is intended to damage your self-worth and create a sense of inferiority in you. It is a method of manipulation and dominance. Mental abuse can be as harmful as physical abuse, affecting you emotionally and psychologically.

The purpose of this video is to help you recognize whether you have been a victim of mental abuse and to offer resources that can assist you in starting to recover from it.
