8 Assertive Bill of Rights You have the right to Express your own opinions and feelings. Say no without feeling guilty. Change your mind. Make mistakes and be responsible for them. Make decisions that may not please another person. Determine what is important to you. Say, I don t understand. Ask for what you want. Say, I don t care. Ask for information from professionals (doctors, supervisors). Be treated with respect. Choose not to assert yourself. Not need people to like you to deal with them effectively. Offer no reasons or excuses for justifying your behavior. Judge if you are responsible for finding solutions to other people s problems. Be illogical in making decisions.
9 Some Tried and True Basic Strategies From Smith, 1975 * Broken Record * Fogging * Negative Assertion * Negative Inquiry
10 BROKEN RECORD * Simply repeat what you want in a calm, collected manner, offering no explanations or rationalizations. * THOUGH NOT IN AN OBNOXIOUS WAY!!!
11 FOGGING DEALING WITH CRITICISM * Instead of reacting to criticism with denials or counterattacks you agree only to whatever is true in the statement. * Fogging forces you to listen carefully, to respond to what someone says rather than what he or she implies.
12 Negative Assertion * Assertively accept whatever the negative criticism is. * You re right, I.. * I m sorry, I wasn t thinking
13 Negative Inquiry * Ask for more information about the criticism, discourages using manipulation. * What is it about.. that makes me look bad? * What is it about that makes you so angry?
14 Situations You Know and Love * What are the situations in which you want to be assertive? Work Fieldwork Home Public
