I believe that the Bible teaches assertiveness as the most
mature, biblical way of living. In very simple terms, assertiveness
is when we say, "Come sit with me. Let's talk about our
relationship. What is working for us and what needs to change?"
When we are assertive we do not run and hide from relationship
difficulties, neither do we demand that things are done our way.
Instead, we face the problems head on, and in a calm, but firm
manner, we address the issues that need to be resolved.
When I have been privileged to help people become assertive,
they have not only improved their interpersonal relationships, they
have developed a healthier self-esteem, and for people with a faith
in God, that relationship has also deepened.
Because I have seen such positive changes in the clients I have
worked with, I have become passionate about the importance of being
assertive. My own relationships have also improved when I have
practiced assertiveness.
Before I worked as a counselor, I taught school for several
years. Later, as a counselor, I wished that someone would design a
course on assertiveness that could be used in the classroom. If
children would learn the value of assertive behavior early in life,
they would struggle less with relationships throughout their
lives.
