Withholding is an expression of conditional love, whereby the withholder refuses to provide their partner with an emotional or physical need unless certain conditions are met.
Withholding examples:
• Stonewalling or ‘The Silent Treatment.’
• Withholding sex or physical affection.
• Refusing offers of physical affection.
• Failing to celebrate your partners achievements.
• Avoiding deep or meaningful conversations.
• Withholding verbal expressions of love or affection.
• Refusing to comfort your partner in times of need.
If you recognise any of these behaviours in yourself, or in your partner then this podcast is for you.
