Recently I facilitated a group session for survivors of trauma, with the topic of Assertive Communication. Learning about styles of communication is a transformative thing. In the model I used in the session clients step back and look at their patterns of communication, noting if they are Assertive, Aggressive or Passive. They look at the costs and benefits of each pattern of communication.
None of us stick to one style of communication at all times. With each relationship it can feel as if there is a different balance of 'us' and 'them'. Take note of where and when and with whom you can easily say 'yes or 'no' and mean it. http://recoveringengineer.com/…/the-difference-between-pas…/
