One feature can have several explanations. It is therefore risky to assume that a diagnosis-like label is the only way to decide whether a behaviour is harmful, unsafe or worth taking seriously.

Plain language reduces defensiveness and helps distinguish the event itself from the meaning each person assigned to it. Page focus: Boundaries, Deception and Relationship Safety.
