Before you borrow the words

A script is a starting point - not the whole boundary

Use the scripts as written, or adjust them until they sound like you.

Choose your level

Direct"I cannot take that on."

Warm"I appreciate you thinking of me. I cannot take that on."

Limited Yes"I can help with X, but I cannot do Y."

The N.O.P.E. Boundary Method™

Use the script. Hold the boundary.

A boundary becomes real when it survives pushback.

N - Notice the guilt

O - Own your pattern

P - Prepare the boundary

E - Embody the follow-through

Before you send: Is this clear? Is this mine to explain? What will I do if the answer is ignored?

Make it yours

Build a three-line boundary before you need it

Prepare the words while your nervous system is calm.

1. Name the limit

2. Name the alternative

3. Name the follow-through

I am not available for ____________. I can ____________. If the pattern continues, I will ____________.

Say it once out loud. Remove every apology you do not mean. Remove every detail that invites debate. Keep the sentence that tells the truth.

The next step

Scripts help you speak. A system helps you stop abandoning yourself.

If guilt, over-explaining, and pushback keep pulling you out of your own boundary, Boundaries Without Guilt™ is where we work on what happens after you say the words.
