ERP 217: How To Deal With Stonewalling In Relationship
Today, I am giving more attention and support to a listener's question, who writes "How do you deal with a partner who stonewalls?"
In this episode, Dr. Jessica Higgins discusses:
What stonewalling is and what it entails. Common dynamics and patterns that lead to one partner withdrawing or stonewalling. What is often underneath the stonewalling behavior and what it feels like on the receiving end. Research findings about the differences between men and women as it relates to stonewalling. Over time, the pain of stonewalling can be devastating to the emotional bond and relationship. Tips for how to get off the destructive track of the pursuer-withdrawer pattern, so that we can find our emotional balance and start a softer, more positive and constructive conversation with our partner.Mentioned:
