Lesson Overview

9.45 – How to Navigate Silent Treatment Dynamics: Silence can be peaceful or punishing depending on intent. Navigating it requires decoding motive and re-establishing communication safely. The silent treatment often masks overwhelm or fear, not strength. Addressing it involves calm outreach—inviting conversation without accusation. Setting limits on prolonged silence protects both partners from emotional erosion. Healthy pauses differ from stonewalling because they include transparency. When silence becomes mindful rather than manipulative, it transforms from weapon to boundary. Learning this difference restores healthy dialogue.
