When someone is projecting unresolved trauma, the most important boundary isn’t what you say to them.
It’s how you manage your own nervous system in the interaction.
Projection pulls for reaction.
Regulation creates choice.
This isn’t about diagnosing, fixing, or absorbing someone else’s pain.
It’s about recognizing when an interaction is no longer mutual—and responding from clarity instead of reflex.
Awareness is the boundary.
Regulation is the protection.
Comment boundries if this is an area you struggle with.
Follow for nervous-system informed boundaries that don’t require disconnection.
