Resource: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/anger-in-the-age-entitlement/200808/effects-emotional-abuse-it-hurts-when-i-love

First of all, what is emotional abuse? It is in the most basic definition is anything that hurts the feeling of another person. We definitely have as human beings hurt someone's feelings on purpose, but there is a difference between this and an emotionally abusive relationship. In an emotionally abusive relationship, the other controls you by undermining your confidence, making you feel crazy, and manipulating you with fear or shame. There are many ways in which emotional abuse can be more effective in messing you up than physical abuse. There are some reasons to this. One of the reasons emotional abuse kicks your butt more is it can happen every single day of your life. The more it happens, the more you can feel the pain. Emotional abuse can also dig deeper than the normal punches. First of all, punches or kicks can obviously be seen that it is their fault for hurting you. Emotional abuse makes you blame yourself! Implying or saying you some kind of problems suggests there is something wrong with you. It makes you question something unnecessary and makes you think your at fault. It takes abuse to whole new level of damage.

This article was very interesting! I recommend reading the whole thing. I thought is was very informative and gave many details and examples on the subject. The realization that emotional abuse can be a bigger impact truly is interesting. It makes us as humans if we love the other person question ourselves for the wrong purpose. The truth is that this can happen anywhere, and it happens too often. Knowing what to do or knowing when to break a relationship like this is important. I find information like this important.

A research study was conducted to find out if taking man’s best friend to work reduced stress and made the job more satisfying for other employees. Stress is one of the major factors that cause employee’s to miss work, lower moral and cause them to burnout, resulting in significant losses of resources and productivity. Researchers from VCU compared employees who bring their dogs to work, employees who do not bring their dogs to work and employees without pets in the areas of stress, organizational commitment, support, and job satisfaction. The study showed that Dogs bring more positive emotions to a workplace than one without a dog.

This could cause an increase in Dogs that are brought to work and a decrease of places that don’t allow pets.
