Slide 1

🧱 Stonewalling Happens

You shut down.

Stop talking.

Check out.

Slide 2

🚪 You Build a Wall

It feels like control — but it shuts the other person out.

Slide 3

🧊 Silence Isn’t the Solution

That wall doesn’t fix anything. It just locks the problem in.

Slide 4

⏸️ Time-Outs Are Fine

Cool off.

Step back.

Just don’t disappear.

Slide 5

🗣️ Call It Time Out

Say, “I need a minute.” Then come back with a clearer head.

Slide 6

⚠️ Silence Protects Short-Term

But it kills connection if you stay behind the wall.

Slide 7

🔁 Step Back. Breathe. Reconnect.

You don’t need to fix everything right away — but don’t go ghost either.
