Regretting Not Being Able to Say No... How Do You Communicate Your True Feelings? #PodcastDokusokai | Santiban Assertion Training Ep.024
Inspired by this month's book club theme, "Speaking," we explore the true intentions behind communication.
Reflecting on how we communicate through a book on assertion.
The theme for our monthly podcast book club is "thinking about speaking." Reading "Santiban Assertion Training" by Noriko Hiraki, we reflect on our communication habits of regretting not being able to say no or always prioritizing the other person.
Three communication styles are introduced.
The show discusses three communication patterns in human relationships: a non-assertive style where one cannot express their feelings, and an aggressive style where one forces only their own opinions. These are all too relatable, making us nod in agreement.
Exploring ways to value both others and yourself.
The importance of assertive communication—conveying your feelings without hurting the other person, while understanding your own—is discussed. Specific conversation training methods are also introduced, but please listen to the main episode to find out more!
