  • You ever been in a difficult conversation?

  • Typically an argument.

  • And it's a topic or a conversation the two of you should be able to talk about.

  • But the other person checks out on you.

  • They ghost you.

  • They go quiet.

  • They don't respond.

  • And you think, well, maybe they just need some time.

  • Five minutes go by.

  • And you think, well, okay.

  • Then an hour goes by.

  • And then more hours.

  • And then it turns into a day.

  • Or several days.

  • And you're realizing that their silence is meant... to punish you.

  • It's called the silent treatment.

  • We all know what it's like, and I hate it.

  • So I'm going to teach you exactly what to do to handle it.

  • You ready?
