It takes a touch of courage. It's relatively easy to incorporate into your life. And it pays huge dividends. I believe we could all learn to be more APPROPRIATELY assertive with our coworkers, peers, children, spouses and so forth. It is one of the core components of anger management trainings precisely because it prevents the build up of anger in us. By allowing us to express our needs in a calm, rational manner, we don't stuff anger down inside. Therefore, no need to go volcanic later! Thanks for your comment! John Schinnerer Ph.D. Absolutely!

You basically are saying that we teach people how they may treat us, and if they are inappropriate, we must teach them how to speak to us in a respectful manner, regardless of what the consequences may be. Life as a recovering wimp. I like your article.
