Tone &amp; Delivery: Calm and Neutral tones help reduce defensiveness. It's les about what you say and more about how you say it. Choose a non-confrontational setting to ensure other person is open to hearing you.
Command vs Request: A command might feel harsh or demanding, whereas a request allows for collaboration.
Avoid Final Statements: "Always" and "Never" tend to escalate situations.&nbsp;
De-escalation Techniques: If boundaries are crossed, taking a break, practicing deep breathing, or removing yourself from the situation can prevent further conflict. &nbsp;
Setting Consequences: If you don't respect your own boundaries, others won't either.&nbsp;
