Assertiveness Training is a therapeutic and personal development approach focusing on helping individuals communicate their feelings, needs, and rights openly and respectfully without resorting to aggression or passivity.
Key Points:
- Importance: Builds self-confidence, promotes healthier relationships, and reduces resentment or misunderstandings.
- Techniques: Role-playing, “I” statements (e.g., “I feel… when… because…”), boundary setting, and learning to tolerate discomfort in interpersonal situations.
- Benefits: Enhanced emotional well-being, improved conflict resolution, and lowered stress.
