@cherellepalmer: The silent treatment can hurt so badly because your brain doesn’t experience it as “just silence.” It can feel like rejection, disconnection, and uncertainty all at once. When someone suddenly withdraws, your nervous system may start searching for answers: What did I do? Are they mad? Are they leaving? How do I fix this? And if you grew up in an environment where love, attention, or communication was withdrawn during conflict, silence can feel especially threatening. Healthy space sounds like: “I need some time, but we’re okay and we’ll talk later.” Silence without communication can leave you stuck in survival mode. #therapytok #silenttreatment #attachment #nervoussystem #relationshiptips
