When ‘I Need Space’ Turns Into Stonewalling — Know the Signs

Описание: Have you ever had a partner suddenly shut down on you — emotionally, physically, or both?
One moment you’re having a normal conversation, and the next… they’ve vanished. No explanation. No reassurance. Just silence.

In this video, we’re unpacking one of the most confusing experiences in relationships:
👉 when someone says they “need space” — and when that’s not what’s really going on.

We’ll break down:
✨ The classic pursuer/withdrawer cycle (and why you keep getting stuck in it)
✨ Why avoidant partners actually pull away — and what’s happening in their nervous system
✨ The difference between healthy space and stonewalling
✨ How narcissistic partners use silence as a weapon
✨ The signs you’re not dealing with overwhelm, but emotional control
✨ What you deserve in conflict: emotional safety, clarity, and connection

If you’ve ever been left wondering, “Did I do something wrong?” or walking on eggshells just to keep the peace — this video will help you understand exactly what’s happening underneath the shutdown.

Because knowing the difference between withdrawal and stonewalling isn’t just relationship insight…
It’s protection.

You deserve a relationship where conflict doesn’t equal abandonment.
Let’s talk about why this pattern keeps showing up — and what you can do next.
