Assertive
Communication
Someone once
said, "All problems originate from poor
communication." That might also mean I
don't communicate well with myself, say,
when I'm under stress. Psychotherapy
and meditation
can help us better understand ourselves so
we can communicate more effectively with
others.
More
specifcially, Assertive Communication
Skills enable you to stop apologizing for
who you are, stop defending what you do,
stop explaining why you are, stop
justifying what you believe and stop
attacking and blaming others who make
demands on you. No one is born with great
communication skills. We must learn them,
practice them and gain confidence through
experience. I teach specific skills to ask
for what you would like and to cope with
uncertainty in human interaction and
communication. Please call me with any
questions you have at
503-252-3739.
