Is it Just the Silent Treatment or Really Rejection? Why Stonewalling is Harmful

Silence occurs for many reasons, but sometimes it’s intentionally used as punishment.

Rossana Faye joins me in this podcast episode to discuss why stonewalling is so painful. Silence can be weaponized to send powerful messages of rage and rejection.

In this week’s Podcast Extra, Ro and I discuss the differences between being emotionally flooded and giving someone the silent treatment.
