Topic: Learning to Say “No.” Tips for Learning to Be Assertive
Listen to the interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:
- Why do some people struggle seemingly saying ‘no’ to everything, while others have no problem saying ‘no,’ to almost everything from very early on with people?
- You once wrote, “When you decide to become assertive, you must commit to it. To change being passive or walk on.” What did you mean by this?
- We discuss body language in several of our segments. You note that it is especially important to be assertive, could you say more about that?
- What is a good/safe seeming way for individuals to start practicing their new skills of assertiveness and setting boundaries such as saying ‘no.’
- Can you explain “Fogging,” and how individuals can use it to take control back from individuals who are ‘trying to get a reaction’ out of them?
