The Four Silences Field Kit

The printable half of the book: a one-page card that tells the four silences apart, an episode log that answers the questions the ten-question test asks you about, the first twenty-four hours on a single sheet, and the lines to keep in your phone for the moment it is actually happening.

  • ✓The Four Silences card — what gives each one away, the response that fits, and the three moves that make it worse
  • ✓The episode log: six columns you fill in as it happens, so the test has something honest to work from
  • ✓The first twenty-four hours on one page — hour by hour, including the part where you do nothing
  • ✓Pocket scripts: the opening line, the third-day message, the repair conversation, and what to say to a child who has noticed
  • ✓The line — a short, plain checklist for telling a difficult pattern from coercive control, and what to do about it

The Silent Treatment

Why a companion?

There are four silent treatments, not one — and the response that helps one makes the other three worse. The book teaches you to tell the four silences apart and gives you the response for each. This free kit is the part you print and keep: the card for the fridge door, the log for the pattern you cannot see from inside it, and the exact words for the night it starts again.
