- Education
Welcome back to A Slice of Life - the Anxiety Master podcast with British-registered therapist Dominic Decker.
Today, we'e uncovering various strategies for becoming more assertive in your daily life.
Assertiveness can be confusing because it requires balancing clear, direct communication of one's needs and boundaries with respect and empathy for others.
People often confuse assertiveness with aggression. This is infringing on others rights, or mistake it for passivity. This is failing to stand up for one's rights.
Finding the middle ground where you respect yourself and others can be challenging without proper understanding and practice.
This episode covers the roots of passive behaviour, different communication styles, why assertiveness can be difficult, and how to gradually build and apply an assertive attitude to daily conversations at work and in personal relationships.
By the end of the episode, you'll have practical tools to express your needs and boundaries clearly and respectfully, fostering deeper connections and a more empowered sense of self.
