Why Giving Someone The Silent Treatment Is A Mistake
Regular price $1.49/
The silent treatment is a refusal to communicate with someone that wants to communicate. Experts in psychology and marriage therapy often label the silent treatment as a form of emotional abuse, passive-aggressive behavior, and controlling behavior.
It’s basically an attempt by a person to get what they want by making the other person miserable. It’s a form of pouting.
While this might be an effective way of getting what you want in the short term, it’s very damaging to relationships of all types.
