My therapist explained it this way. There are 3 zones. 1. Passive 2. Assertive 3. Aggression.
I’m a very chill person and lack assertiveness. Instead of being able to weave in and out of the 2nd zone I sit in the passive zone until I explode directly into aggression. There are situations that call for assertiveness without dipping into pure aggression, especially when it comes to self defense.
Does anyone have any pointers on how I can practice this? It may save my life some day if I learn how to be assertive when I need to be instead of going straight into aggression or staying passive. I work in customer service and I’ve been trying to implement this when I can.
