The Silent Treatment

Have you been the victim of THE Silent Treatment?  It’s the insidious withholding of communication - words, attention, affection, and connection - that communicates so much.  It’s a response that is demeaning, degrading, mean, and wrong..and yet so common and frequently used.  It’s time to unpack and address this nefarious tool of destruction.

In this episode here’s some of what we talk about:

• Why the silent treatment is so dang triggering.
• The goal of silent treatment, and why it sometimes makes you feel crazy.
• We clarify the the difference between SILENCE as a response vs. silent treatment.
• We give the 4 steps of how to respond if you are the victim of silent treatment to break the cycle.

If you are the one employing silent treatment we discuss the serious nature of this bludgeoning coping tool, with an encouragement and reminder of Good News that roots you in the truth to break the destructive cycle and enter a new era of open and gracious communication.
