Ugh! The narcissistic Hijackal falls silent, ignores you, and won't respond. What's up with that? What are they hoping to achieve? What's your internal dialogue? What ways are most effective to respond? That's today's episode. Join in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They are so dismissive! Hijackals can treat you as though you're invisible, erased, and definitely not present. They want to impress upon you the contempt they feel for you. So, they fall silent.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
- What Hijackals want to avoid by giving you The Silent Treatment
- Why narcissistic folks misguidedly think The Silent Treatment will work
- 7 ways to recognize The Silent Treatment as emotional abuse
- 6 ways NOT to respond to The Silent Treatment
- 4 MUST-DOS to respond to The Silent Treatment

Big power move...or, so they think! Until you understand the dynamics of this, you may be upset, distressed, and doing everything in your power to get the Hijackal to starting talking to you. Have you done that? What was the cost? I'll bet it was at the expense of your self-esteem at the very least!

* * Remember, narcissists and other toxic people come in all genders and ages * *
and toxic relationships can be at home, at work, at play... with your parent, boss, spouse, sibling, friend, co-worker.

I am Dr. Rhoberta Shaler, The Relationship Help Doctor.
Are you in relationship with a Hijackal? That's someone who consistently puts you down, love-bombs and gaslights you, creates confusion and chaos, and causes you to second-guess yourself? I can help you recognize, understand, and make decisions about those kinds of narcissistic behavior…and especially, how to keep yourself (and your children) safe and sane.

No worries about where in the world you live. I work through private, secure video conferencing. So, we can certainly work together to figure a few things out.
