Assertiveness seems like a breath of fresh air to people who find “no” hard to use.
People suffer into addressing other people’s needs , while their own are not met and are not even recognized.
The goal is to start acknowledging our own needs, boundaries, self – space and then coming to terms with having them.
There is a sense of re-birth, a psychic rejuvenance , as we engage in assertiveness more and more.
It is like a blessing in disguise
