Putting Them On Adult Timeout.Urban Therapy with

You might not be able to make an adult go sit in a corner when they have acted up, but you can put them on timeout.

Sometimes grown folks get to be a little too much for you and you have to keep them out of your life for a hot minute. That's an adult timeout.

They may not agree with what you are doing, but because of what they did to you, you may not have a choice. Plus, you're not asking them about what they want. They have pushed you to the point of possibly wanting to get violent, or cutting them off altogether, but instead, you're just going to shut them down for a minute while you regroup and start to like them again. It might be a while.
