Feeling disrespected?
The experience of not receiving the regard we deserve. Disrespect signals that our boundaries, needs, or status have been dismissed.
The unmet need
Clear acknowledgment of our worth and boundaries; apology or changed behavior; the restoration of mutual respect.
A question to sit with
How can I clearly communicate what respectful treatment looks like? What consequence will I enforce if disrespect continues?
What to do right now
State clearly: "I expect to be treated with respect. This behavior is not acceptable." Follow through with consequences if disrespect continues. Respect yourself first.
