Have you ever been on the receiving end of someone’s silent treatment? Or have you given the silent treatment towards others? Many people believe that giving the silent treatment is a dignified response to an argument, but it is not. The silent treatment is a form of ostracism. Therefore, a passive form of abuse. It is employed with the intent to punish someone and thus yields harmful repercussions.

We also made a video on another form of emotional abuse - emotional blackmailing. You can check out the video here: https://youtu.be/XeysIVjJtuc
