1 / What matters to me here?
Name the need, value, or limit you want to protect.
2 / What is within my control?
Focus on your words and actions rather than controlling another person.
3 / Put it into words
Try: "I can ____. I am not available for ____. If that happens, I will ____."
4 / Plan for a response
If someone disagrees, how can I repeat my limit? What support might I need?
Safety note: If setting a limit could put you at risk, prioritize safety and seek trusted support rather than
practicing direct confrontation.
