@elenagracehealing: When the Silent Treatment Makes You Apologize Why do you feel responsible for fixing things when someone stops speaking to you? When the silent treatment is used to punish or control, you may begin apologizing, reaching out, and taking responsibility for things you didn't do just to restore communication. Healthy relationships allow space without using silence as punishment. Elena Grace | Emotional Abuse Awareness & Healing #silenttreatment #emotionalabuse #emotionalmanipulation
