Negative self\u2010beliefs, such as self\u2010hate\u2010related beliefs, may explain how emotional mistreatment contributes to physical distress in adulthood beyond general emotional difficulties. A longitudinal study was conducted with 298 help\u2010seeking adults. At baseline, participants completed measures of childhood emotional abuse, self\u2010hate, and general negative affectivity. Somatic symptoms were assessed two months later. Mediation analyses tested whether self\u2010hate mediated the relationship between childhood emotional abuse and somatic symptoms while accounting for the influence of general negative affectivity, which reflects a general tendency to experience negative emotional states. Participants (\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u200933.7, SD\u2009=\u200911.8) were predominantly female (63.3%) and Caucasian (84.2%). Childhood emotional abuse (\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200911.24, SD\u2009=\u20096.60) was significantly associated with self\u2010hate (\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200910.35, SD\u2009=\u20096.13,\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.33,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and somatic symptoms (\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200913.99, SD\u2009=\u20096.76,\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.27,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Self\u2010hate strongly correlated with somatic symptoms (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.45,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Mediation analyses showed that self\u2010hate significantly mediated the link between emotional abuse and somatic symptoms, even after accounting for general negative affectivity as a covariate (indirect effect\u2009=\u20090.07, 99% CI [0.03, 0.13]). These findings highlight self\u2010hate as a key mechanism linking childhood emotional abuse to somatic symptoms. Even when controlling for broader emotional instability, self\u2010hate remained central. Addressing these negative self\u2010beliefs through targeted interventions may help reduce both emotional suffering and associated physical manifestations.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/sjop.70008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,4]],"date-time":"2025-08-04T09:48:49Z","timestamp":1754300929000},"page":"1005-1010","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Childhood Emotional Abuse and Somatic Symptoms: The Mediating Effect of Self\u2010Hate"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6657-737X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pierre Gilbert","family":"Rossini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Biological Sciences University of Turin  Orbassano Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7955-3710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Gazzillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dynamic and Clinical Psychology, and Health Studies Sapienza University of Rome  Roma Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3679-6085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Kealy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry University of British Columbia  Vancouver British Columbia Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10926771.2011.538006"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.33212\/att.v11n1.2017.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2352\u20104642(21)00339\u20104"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1040\u20103590.18.2.192"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PSY.0000000000001208"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749\u20103797(98)00017\u20108"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.177.2.117"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10879\u2010022\u201009564\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0803706X.2024.2385101"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2013.12179"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2020.586161"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2019.00610"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1348\/014466504772812959"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_15_1","volume-title":"Introduction to Mediation, Moderation, and Conditional Process Analysis: A Regression\u2010Based Approach","author":"Hayes A.
