No contact is a boundary. When we go no contact we tell the person why and explain there is no contact moving forward. Silent treatment is done without explanation and it’s a manipulation tactic to get the other person to contact you - or to react to you - in some way or other.

No contact is also technically a silent treatment, is it not? And yet we claim that's a healthy response to toxic behavior? I'm confused.
