Frame: short-term coping tactic — become as uninteresting and emotionally flat as a plain grey rock toward a manipulative/abusive person so there’s less incentive to engage; not a cure or substitute for a safety plan.

What shipped

Grey Rock Method is the Compass’s 101st topic, shipping immediately after Trauma Bonding (100th). Sections cover what it is, what it looks like in practice (short neutral answers, flat tone, no personal details), try-todays, when to seek help (if it becomes a long-term way of life or spreads into healthy relationships), sources (Psychology Today, ChoosingTherapy.com, Healthline), and related topics (Trauma Bonding, Toxic Relationships, Codependency).

The grey rock method is a communication tactic for dealing with someone who is manipulative, narcissistic, or abusive: you become as uninteresting and emotionally flat as a plain grey rock…

Why desk it

Natural next beat after Trauma Bonding 100th — same relational-safety arc, different tool.
Explicit short-term / not-a-cure framing + safety-plan distinction (Sonnet’s careful guardrails).
12-language simultaneous ship; process only (no standing/echoes bump).
