How to Manage Shutting Down in Yourself or Your Partner


Listen Later

Do you know what shutting down, withdrawing, and stonewalling have in common?

Do you see yourself or your spouse in that description?


I have experienced this a lot in my past. I didn’t even know I was stonewalling—I didn’t have a word for it.


Embarrassingly, I used to go for days without talking to the person I was living with because I was upset.


So believe me, I understand how it feels internally when you are in shutdown mode. Thankfully, I’ve learned a lot over the years about what’s happening in someone’s nervous system and in a relationship.


And now, I want to share all of that with you.


In this episode, I dive into how your attachment style influences these behaviors and will teach you strategies to foster better communication and connection with your partner.


If this resonates with you, tune in to gain a deeper understanding of your relationship and how to build a stronger one.
