@francia_cabral: The silent treatment is NOT a boundary. It is a punishment. 🤫🛑 When you finally stand your ground against a controlling relationship dynamic, the other person will often resort to silence or hanging up on you. They do this because their normal control mechanisms stopped working, and they need a new weapon to pull you back into compliance. The silence acts like an emotional vacuum. It creates an almost unbearable, physical panic in your nervous system. Your chest tightens, your heart races, and your brain starts spinning in a toxic loop of rumination—tempting you to text them or apologize just to stop the physical discomfort. But as a family law attorney turned Somatic Coach, I need you to understand the true mechanics of this game: They are banking on your anxiety. They want you to feel so uncomfortable that you break your own boundary. Your superpower in this moment is to let them sit in their own discomfort. You do not need to fix a conflict that was created because you chose to protect your peace. Bring your attention back to your body. Take a deep, physical exhale. Let the dial tone be their problem, not yours. 💌 If you are paralyzed by the post-boundary guilt loop and your nervous system is exhausted from surviving toxic cycles, I am here to help you hold your ground. Send me a DM with the word BREAKTHROUGH, and let’s jump on a free 15-minute call to find your safety net. #somaticcoach #manipulation #toxicrelationship #innerpeace #nervoussystemregulation
