Tyler Woods Phd Holistic Mental Health

Join Tyler Woods, PhD, as she talks about how the silent treatment is a form of deliberate abuse. The abuser is trying to cause an atmosphere of anxiety, self-doubt, self-blame, and even fear. Emotionally immature individuals use it as it is the grown-up version of a temper tantrum. It is used to control, punish, shame, and assert power over others. If the abuser does not get their way, they use silence with the intent to harm, as it helps them have feelings of superiority or entitlement. Join Tyler as she explains how the silent treatment is a form of abuse and gaslighting, and ways to empower yourself from people who are trying to take your power away through silence.
