Verbal Rape: Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, But Words Will Never Hurt Me?
November 3rd, 2019
Contributing writer for Wake Up World
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
This old adage dates back to 1862. Yet, modern trauma research dispels the innocence of this myth. What we say can both heal and hurt.
When someone says no, it means NO. Feeling entitled to continue to share information when someone says no is a violation. Worse, continuing a verbally attack when someone says no is assault. It’s verbal rape.
Verbal abuse and physical abuse share commonalities. While violating words and emotion aren’t overt physical assaults, they still affect us physically through the trauma they cause to our nervous system, to our brains, and our psyche generally. These injuries can last a lifetime and can be transmitted intergenerationally. We feel verbal abuse physically even if we haven’t been physically touched, whether the attack comes hot and heavy or underhandedly.
