Taking Action
Stonewalling
Take a break
Click the headphone icon for a 6o second voice clip or read the 6o second text slides.
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.
