This guide is general education, not a diagnosis or an individual treatment plan. Urgent, severe or worsening symptoms belong with the local emergency service or a qualified clinician.
Setting interpersonal boundaries with scripts. This source-reviewed orientation page separates stable mental-health, social-connection and behaviour-change orientation from decisions that depend on duration, severity, safety, health, trauma, relationships, functioning, preferences, age, local services and qualified individual assessment. The named editions, URLs and reuse limits were checked on 2026-09-10. It remains outside search indexes pending a second-person clinical editorial review and localisation.
Start with the description that most closely matches your question about Setting interpersonal boundaries with scripts. Use the evidence section to understand what is known, then use the boundary section to decide when self-education should stop and clinical care should begin.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
These concise notes are independently written from the source set below. In an emergency, use the local emergency number and follow the dispatcher rather than relying on a static page.
Clarify the situation, what you can or cannot do, the practical effect and what you will do if the limit is crossed. A concise script can use a fact, a clear request and a follow-through that is lawful and within your control; it cannot force agreement or guarantee a safe response. Needs differ across family, friendship, work, care and intimate relationships, and disability, dependence, culture and power can affect what is realistic.

In an ordinary disagreement, choose a calm time, listen, state the limit and review whether the arrangement works. With coercive control, stalking, threats or violence, direct confrontation or announced consequences can increase danger; confidential domestic-abuse, safeguarding, legal or emergency support should guide a safety plan. Leaving, reducing contact or using a third party may be appropriate, but a generic script cannot assess retaliation risk or legal duties.
