Complete transcript: How to deal with the silent treatment

Hey, are you ignoring me? No. Okay, so right now you want to focus on not accusing the other person, but just asking where they're at emotionally like this. Okay, I could be interpreting this wrong, but I'm sensing a shift in your mood and you're not talking to me, so I just wanted to check in. I'm fine. Now, you can recognize that this person just isn't willing to communicate what's wrong and it's not your responsibility to pull it out of them or to read their mind. So, you're going to stay neutral and let them know that if they want to talk, you're there. Just like this. Okay. Well, if you do want to talk about anything, I'm here.

Now, here's where a lot of people get triggered, especially if you grew up with a parent who gave the silent treatment. Being ignored is one of the most painful things a person can experience. But, it's important to set a boundary that you don't engage or beg to be spoken to. Adults have a responsibility to communicate clearly and directly. So next you can say okay I have some work I need to get done.
