The “rules” when dealing with emotionally or verbally abusive people are different simply because protection becomes the priority over other social goals like relating and building a connection. The boundary phrases change a bit to achieve this.

For example, while it might be healthy to say to a trusted friend, “Hey, when ____ happened, I felt ____, and I really value our friendship so I wanted to ask for ____ to be different.” However, this might not be safe or effective with a person who has been historically hurtful to you. It might be too vulnerable. It might be too much truth for that person to hear and triggers a response you’re trying to reduce experiencing.

Working with a therapist can help you respond without compromising your values or who you are while also prioritizing protecting yourself.

So if goal setting is so good, how can it possibly be bad?
