[Eps. 53] Being Ignored in Relationships: Stonewalling, Silent Treatment, and When to Walk Away

Stonewalling can feel like torture — and it’s NOT okay.

Let’s sit down with a cuppa and unpack this together. This episode is a replay of a powerful training I originally taught in one of my group programs — and it’s a conversation every human needs to hear if they have ever been shut out, blocked, or emotionally abandoned in a relationship.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ What stonewalling really is — and how it differs from the silent treatment

✨ Why people stonewall in relationships (it’s often a trauma response)

✨ How to repair and navigate it together — if both partners are willing

✨ What to do when they block you or disappear

✨ How to stay grounded when your partner takes space

✨ When it’s time to walk away — for your own peace

✨ …and so much more.

👉 Leave a comment below the episode and let me know your biggest takeaway. I’d love to hear how this landed for you.

With love,
