Employ calm repetition of boundary statements without
Employ calm repetition of boundary statements without escalation or new arguments when facing persistent pressure, using the broken record technique to remove footholds for escalation.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from habit formation (Habits as Context-Response Associations), habituation to repeated stimuli (The nervous system habituates to repeated, predictable), and extinction bursts (When a consistently reinforced behavior stops being). The broken record technique prescribes a specific response pattern that leverages habituation while maintaining the boundary through the extinction burst period.
