when was the last time you said "yes" when you really wanted to say "no"?

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to invite you to our upcoming Trauma sensitive yoga class in which we will focus on Assertiveness: Basic Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills.

This session is designed to equip you with fundamental tools to build and maintain healthier, more fulfilling relationships in all areas of your life – with family, friends, colleagues, and partners.

What We'll Cover:

In this lecture, we'll dive into key concepts that underpin effective communication and interaction:

Mindful Attention in Relationships: Learn how to be truly present and observant in your interactions, picking up on crucial cues and preventing misunderstandings.

Passive vs. Aggressive Behavior: Understand the long-term pitfalls of these common styles and why neither truly serves your relationships.

Balancing Your Needs with Others': We'll explore the "I Want - They Want" and "I Want - I Should" ratios, helping you navigate the delicate balance between your desires and perceived obligations.

Introduction to Key Interpersonal Skills: Get an overview of the core assertive skills, including knowing what you want, asking for it effectively, and starting to negotiate conflicts.

Identifying Blocks to Effectiveness: We'll discuss common obstacles like old habits, overwhelming emotions, fear, and unhelpful myths, providing strategies to overcome them.

Why This Matters:

Relationships are invaluable, but they require effort and skill to thrive. Learning assertiveness isn't about being demanding; it's about confidently and respectfully asking for what you need, setting boundaries, and navigating disagreements in a way that strengthens your connections rather than damaging them.

Come prepared to reflect and engage! You might find it helpful to bring a pen and paper for some brief self-reflection exercises during the session.

I look forward to seeing you there and beginning this important journey toward more effective and satisfying relationships! 💙
