I got this very useful Assertive Communication wallet-sized card from my counselor over a year ago, yes I have one. I have kept it posted on my refrigerator since then and now have it internalized. When I'm angry or my needs are not being met with anyone, I use it and it works. It is a fantastic little tool. It helps me not feel horrible for the words that are about to come out of my mouth and not have them be the wrong ones that will be hurtful.
I feel ........................
(angry, scared, worried, sad, confused, lonely, concerned, etc.)
when you...................
(yell, drink, avoid, criticize, worry, leave, sleep, ignore, etc.)
I would appreciate it....like it....enjoy it....
It would mean a lot to me......
It would really help......
if you would....................
(talk, wait, listen, care, call, write, consider, help, etc.)
