I watched a video on setting boundaries with emotionally immature people using the CLEAR method, and it was actually really practical. Instead of just saying “set boundaries,” it explains how to do it in a calm, clear, and consistent way.
What I liked most is that it focuses on controlling your response rather than trying to change the other person, which is more realistic. It’s simple, but not necessarily easy to apply in real situations.
Overall, it’s helpful if you struggle with feeling drained or disrespected in certain relationships and want a more structured way to handle it.
