We often think that a boundary has to do with somebody else changing. Like, I don't like the way you talk to me, so stop talking to me like that. But a boundary isn't that. Boundaries and threats get interchanged, and they're not the same. The threat is if you keep talking about like that, I'm gonna leave right now. But if you say, hey, listen, I can't actually hear you, and show up if you keep talking to me like that, let's come back in 20 minutes when we both calm down, and I'm happy to continue the conversation. That's a boundary. A boundary is taking care of yourself.
