Emotional abuse is a silent killer. Agree? Whether it's from a loved one or someone from your professional field, it leaves lasting scars and drains your complete energy. But worry not. There's hope! In a recent post on Instagram, nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee talks about the importance of emotional abuse awareness, emotional immunity, and resilience building. She also discusses her holistic approach to health, which provides key ways to tackle emotional abuse.

In the clip, the nutritionist shares, "There comes a time in everyone's life where they have to endure emotional abuse either from a parent, from in-laws or from a sibling or from a spouse. Now, if this is mild and passing, your body will be able to deal with it."
