The Silent Treatment - The Drawbacks of Non-Confrontational Behavior - Permission to Hate

Published: Oct. 2, 2016, 6 a.m.

b'The silent treatment is like an acid that disintegrates trust and love because of the withdrawal of emotions (emotional withdrawal). I can\'t trust you with my emotions because when you withdraw, I feel betrayed and abandoned. I also talk about the drawbacks of non-confrontational behavior and how choosing not to confront disintegrates love and bonding. When you choose to be non-confrontational, it\'s like telling the other person "I don\'t want to tell you the whole truth". And what about hate? Are you allowed to feel hate? Should you? I think it\'s important to acknowledge and accept every part of you and every thought instead of resisting your thoughts. Otherwise, you go around holding on to a lot of negativity which you eventually unleash on those you love.'
