Emotional/psychology

Making someone feel bad about themselves by taking away their self-esteem. Using threats or intimidation to frighten someone or make them feel like they’re losing touch with reality or ‘going crazy’. Isolating someone and not letting them spend time with other people.

For example:

- Saying mean, humiliating things about their hair, clothing, and body to make them feel frightened

-Stopping them from seeing friends, family, or other people

- Needing to know everywhere the person has been or is going
