The Silent Treatment
October 28, 2018

Silence is golden until it isn’t. In a relationship, it can be a slow death.

It’s vital to understand just how damaging withdrawing love and attention can be to a relationship. Over time, with continuing neglect, love can dissolve to the point where there’s no going back.

In this episode, I talk about the three main levels of silent treatment:

1. Processing time to figure out what you’re going to do with what you just learned.

2. Cool-own time as a way to regulate what might normally be a heightened response

3. How to make someone you care about feel bad. I’ll give you one guess what that is.
