When someone with npd or bpd gives the silent treatment are they thinking of that person or do they just blank them out of their mind?
This is a very good question. The answer can vary according to the individual. Narcissists do this on purpose and it can be considered a form of emotional abuse. They make the person on the other end feel virtually non-existent and this can be one of the worst forms of emotional abuse. The silent treatment can also be referred to as "silent raging." The individual exhibiting this behavior is raging on the inside and the silence can last from days to months.
Trying to talk to the narcissist in the midst of their silent treatment will probably only make them want to continue the period of silence - they definitely think of the person they are ignoring when doing so, but they can also block them out at times because narcissists cannot empathize with any other person. BPD, on the other hand, may still have empathy and may be more likely to think of the person they are ignoring.

Is silent treatment an indirect form of physical punishment or physical abuse?
It may hurt you emotionally, but not physically directly... but yes it can hurt indirectly. The silent treatment is a form of so called non-violent,non-physical punishment used to show the highest level of disgust with a person...Not speaking to and completely ignoring someone may have a negative psychological/emotional affect on the person which could be considered a form of mental abuse. Silent treatment can be considered as indirect form of physical abuse because it affects particular part of the brain of receiver of silent treatment. Because of the adverse effect on particular part of brain a person may feel severe emotional pain or even it can lead a receiver to depression or may lead a person to commit suicide. So that means if you are ignoring a person intentionally you are physically inflicting a pain.

What is the best way to handle the silent treatment?
No one deserves to be subjected to this form of emotional blackmail. Feeling ignored, disrespected, or shut out, and to not know why, is a terrible feeling. The first thing to remember if this is happening to you is that you are not to blame. You are caught in someone else's pain pattern. This person does not know how to express feelings in a healthy way probably because this is what they learned as a child. When someone gives you the silent treatment ask them, preferably in person, to sit down with you and explain what is wrong. That if they stay silent, nothing will change. If reason does not work, for your own sake, pull away and try not to dwell on the relationship. You should not have to endure such treatment. Find a healthy way to move on and keep yourself emotionally healthy.
When you get the silent treatment from a bpd for 6 months is it safe to assume that is the last you will hear from them?
No, silent treatment is a childish fit that personality disordered people sometimes do to feel better about themselves. It may be safe to say that maybe they have found a new person to spend their time with. Or it's to teach you a lesson of some kind that is only known by the person with BPD, (as they have illusions that we cannot fathom at times). It's a strange disorder, but there is plenty of information on the web to give you some answers :) If you are dealing with someone giving you the silent treatment for that long, it doesn't sound like they're worth your time. Move on and forget about them, unless it's family or someone you love. Good luck
