The Four Horseman of the Relationship Apocalypse Part 4: Stonewalling

Dr. John Gottman discovered four negative behaviors, or “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” that spell disaster for any relationship, and with them learned how to predict the failure or success of a relationship with a 90% accuracy rate. This week is the fourth and final installment of a 4 part series where we dive into each of the horsemen: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, &amp; Stonewalling. We are digging into stonewalling today. This week you will learn what stonewalling looks like, why it pops up, and what the antidote to this toxic communication technique is!
