Here's How *by H***N on January 22, 2025* The Assertiveness Workbook by Randy Paterson, Ph.D., has been an excellent tutor for my therapy clients.Holly Hooton, LMFT ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Readable, workable, and fun *by J***E on September 26, 2012* It is my experience that few people have strong communication skills -- are capable of gracefully disagreeing, giving opinions, asserting boundaries, confronting people. Most of us either go along with others, try to pacify, avoid confrontation and never say "No," (the passive style) or we boss others around, intimidate them, and force them to give in to "our way" (the aggressive style). There is also the passive-aggressive style which attacks indirectly in order not to take responsibility -- by forgetting, having "accidents," being late, or being slow in responding to a request agreed to. AND sometimes, hopefully more and more, we use the assertive style. The essence of assertiveness is assuming responsibility for your own behavior and acknowledging your thoughts and preferences honestly while also respecting the feelings and opinions of others. Paterson notes that each of these styles is used by all of us at one time or another; and we each have a style we use most.The book is an excellent handbook which will increase your awareness of yourself and others in all interactions. Further, the author guides you step by step into increasing your flexibility of responses. First, Paterson has assessments for determining which of these four styles you use most. He also explores how we learn these behaviors and when it is appropriate to use each. Beginning with the easiest situations in your own life, you start practicing the assertive style. One of my favorite exercises was called: A Walk in Town. The idea is to practice overcoming passivity by the way you walk. You use a favorite actor or dancer as a model of confidence. The best guide for me was: let your chest enter the room first, not your nose. Although the subtitle of the book emphasizes overcoming passivity, this book is also for those who are overly aggressive. Aggressive persons might be less likely to perceive a problem, but overuse of the aggressive style usually indicates a fear of being out of control and tends to keep us distant from others. This book is a fine resource for personal relationships, for work situations, or conflict management. It is readable, workable, and fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for someone else *by A***1 on December 9, 2023* Sure this is a great product but didn't work well for person who was bought for. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Assertiveness Workbook: How to Express Your Ideas and Stand Up for Yourself at Work and in Relationships - Assertiveness: How to Stand Up for Yourself and Still Win the Respect of Others - Not Nice: Stop People Pleasing, Staying Silent, & Feeling Guilty...
