Assertive Communication

Do you find yourself having difficulty openly and honestly expressing how you feel? Do you have trouble saying “no” and feel that like others take advantage of or walk all over you? Is asking for what you want in a respectful and direct manner a problem for you? If you find yourself answering “yes” to one or more of these questions, it may be time that you considered learning about assertive communication.
