People who struggle with assertiveness put the priorities of others in front of their own and have trouble speaking up for themselves.
Assertiveness is an important communication skill: a lack of assertiveness can be connected to low self-confidence and boundary issues, which might be felt in personal lives, relationships, and in the workplace. People who struggle with assertiveness put the priorities of others in front of their own and have trouble speaking up for themselves. This may be a behavior learned in childhood or the result of a difficult or traumatic experience.
In therapy for assertiveness, clients explore their backgrounds and past experiences to better understand how they show up in certain situations. Family therapists who specialize in helping clients with assertiveness encourage them to reflect on their strengths, values, and what makes them unique individuals. Family therapists also teach clients how to communicate clearly, prioritize themselves and their mental health, and how to effectively set boundaries.
