What is the difference between emotional harm and emotional injury?

Emotional damage usually refers to the harm caused by interpersonal relationships, such as the breakdown of romantic relationships, friendships, family relationships, etc., which can bring deep pain and injury to individuals. In addition, experiences such as bullying and violence, losing loved ones, and career setbacks may also cause emotional damage.

Emotional injury, on the other hand, emphasizes more on internal feelings and emotional reactions. It usually refers to the pain and discomfort caused by external events or internal emotional factors, which may affect individuals' emotions, thinking, and behavior, and even affect people's quality of life and interpersonal relationships. For example, experiences such as heartbreak, breakup, abuse, fraud, and betrayal may all cause emotional injury.

Therefore, emotional damage focuses more on the harm caused by interpersonal relationships, while emotional injury emphasizes more on internal emotional reactions and psychological harm. However, it should be noted that these two types of harm sometimes overlap, as they both involve people's emotions and emotional reactions.
