Stonewalling isn’t quiet. It’s loud. It’s the slammed-shut door in the middle of an argument, the blank stare when you’re desperate to connect, the silence that says more than any words could. In this episode, I break down exactly what stonewalling is, why people do it, and the damage it causes in relationships.

We’ll dig into the psychology of shutting down, how stonewalling links to shame and fear, and why it leaves the other partner feeling invisible, crazy, or both. You’ll hear the patterns, the fallout and most importantly, what to do if you find yourself hitting that wall.

If you’ve ever been frozen out mid-conversation, or realised you’re the one doing the freezing, this episode will sting, but it will also give you clarity. Because silence doesn’t just break connection it kills it.

Soul Path Alchemy is a podcast exploring the deeper layers of human experience; through psychology, soul work, healing and truth. Each episode is a conversation between the seen and unseen, where emotional insight meets spiritual clarity. If something in this moved you, following and sharing helps it reach others on their own Soul Path. This podcast is for anyone drawn to depth, transformation, and the quiet remembering of who they really are. If this episode speaks to something in you, it may speak to someone else too. When you follow, share, or simply stay connected, it helps this work reach the people it’s meant for; gently, naturally, in the way real alignment always does.
