Module 1: What is Assertiveness?
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions defines assertiveness as a communication style that respects both one's own rights and those of others, distinguishing it from passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive behaviors. It addresses common misconceptions, such as the belief that assertiveness guarantees desired outcomes or is equivalent to aggression. The resource outlines the effects of unassertiveness and factors that inhibit assertive behavior, serving as an introductory educational tool for clients.
