Recognising when a boundary has been crossed

• Card 1

  Signs a boundary has been violated

  • You said no, and the person kept pushing, joking, or guilt-tripping until you gave in
  • Your "no" was treated as the start of a negotiation rather than an answer
  • You feel resentful, drained, or unlike yourself after time with someone
  • You're punished, sulked at, or frozen out after asserting a limit
  • Someone reads your messages, enters your space, or shares your information without asking

• Card 2

  It can take time to recognise a violation, especially if minimising other people's behaviour has been a survival strategy. Trusting a feeling of discomfort — even before you can explain it — is a valid starting point.
