So what is involved in breaking a persons spirit?
"Breaking someone’s spirit refers to destroying their feeling of determination or inner strength. It often involves making a person feel powerless, hopeless, or incapable of overcoming challenges, effectively undermining their confidence and self-worth (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English; Reverso English Dictionary) "
"This can happen gradually through repeated failures, bullying, or emotional abuse, or suddenly through traumatic events "
"A broken spirit goes beyond ordinary sadness or grief. It manifests as discouragement, despair, and a loss of hope, often leaving a person emotionally numb, withdrawn, or disconnected from others.
Individuals may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed, feel weighed down by life’s challenges, and experience a sense of inner emptiness or futility."
" Emotional abuse, belittlement, or intimidation can systematically erode a person’s self-esteem, creating dependency and further vulnerability."
Christian Reformed Church
