About this episode
Today I’m going to answer if the silent treatment actually works on an ex.
In my humble opinion, the silent treatment can be effective on an ex if you want to get them back and if you want to get over them. However, in both cases it requires you to have great emotional control and the ability to take your ex down off the pedestal you probably placed them on.
I’d like to have an open and honest discussion about how many of my peers warp the silent treatment (in the form of the no contact rule) for their own gain and completely miss the point. So today, here’s some of the things I’m going to dig in on,

The Silent Treatment Breakup Vs. Relationships (An Honest Discussion)
I think there’s a common misunderstanding that most people have when they hear about the silent treatment.
They believe it’s a perfect strategy to use to gain their partners attention but what’s often missed is this,
The silent treatment should only be used for a small period of time after a breakup and not during a relationship
I know this seems like a simple concept but you’d be surprised at how many of our clients miss this completely and almost fall in love with constantly using a no contact rule in their relationships to punish their partner.
So, here’s my declaration. Everything I’m about to say and break down about the silent treatment should really only be used on an ex who has broken up with you.
Got it
