Lesson Overview

4.57 – Avoiding Emotional Stonewalling: Stonewalling—shutting down emotionally during conflict—creates deep isolation. Avoiding it means learning to pause without abandoning connection. Instead of silence or retreat, communicate that you need time but will return. This transparency keeps trust intact while allowing space to cool down. Overcoming stonewalling involves courage to stay emotionally visible even in discomfort. Choosing communication over withdrawal keeps the bond strong through tension.
