24 - The Silent Treatment - Why It's a Terrible Form of Communication in Relationships
In this enlightening episode of our podcast, we take a deep dive into a toxic communication tactic: the "silent treatment." Learn about how this manipulative strategy breeds negativity, hinders positive change, and significantly impacts mental health. We also discuss the types of partners who tend to use this approach and provide actionable advice on dealing with it. Packed with research and expert insights, this episode aims to break the silence, encouraging healthier and more constructive communication strategies in relationships.
