If you find yourself giving in to others a lot or keeping quiet about your needs or opinions, it could be that you need to be more assertive. Assertiveness is having the confidence to stand up for your needs or opinions and the ability to state them clearly. True assertiveness is not aggressive and allows for other points of view to be aired. It means your needs and opinions can be heard and count. We focus on the practical side of being assertive, so that through practice you gain the necessary self confidence and belief.
