Module 4: How to Behave More Assertively
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions outlines general assertiveness techniques designed for individuals seeking to improve their communication skills. It defines specific methods such as basic, empathic, and discrepancy assertions, while emphasizing the importance of matching nonverbal cues like tone and posture to verbal content. The resource provides examples of 'I' statements and advises practicing these skills in low-stakes situations before applying them to more emotionally charged contexts.
