Assertive communication significantly improved my relationships

Lauren Bozarth - Scottsdale, AZ

Assertive communication has been one of the key take-aways from my counseling sessions. I learned the benefits of assertive communication and some practical steps for communicating more effectively. Implementing assertive communication has significantly improved my relationships and has given me newfound courage. I also have become more aware of the internal dialogue in my head and as a result improved my ability to reframe negative self-talk and be more compassionate toward myself. I’m better able to evaluate my thoughts against Gods’ truth and discern where they are coming from (God, the enemy, or myself). What I enjoyed most about my sessions was how practical our discussions were and the resources I was given. I also loved ending in prayer and bringing scripture into our conversations.
