Description

Your partner hasn’t spoken to you in a week and you don’t know what to do next.Maybe there was a fight. Maybe you don’t even know what triggered it.

In this episode, I talk about what’s really going on underneath long silences in a relationship and why the “quiet” does more harm than most couples realise.


You’ll learn:

- What to do in the moment (without begging, pushing or going quiet yourself)

- How to tell the difference between someone needing space and emotional withdrawal

- Why silence often has more to do with protection than punishment

- What to say (and what not to say) when they shut down

- Why long silences make things worse, not better

- What to do if this keeps happening and you’re at breaking point


I also share a simple check-in strategy and some quick things you can do to stay calm and connected, even when they won’t speak.

Silence doesn’t have to become your relationship’s new normal. There is a way through this.
