Chapter 4 : Rights and Wrongs
This last point brings us neatly to another important element in assertiveness training : recognise your, and the other person's basic rights.Most books on assertiveness training will list personal rights, with some variations according to author interpretation. These rights are neither written in tablets of stone nor enforceable by law, but are a common - sense set of rules to aid self-development and enhance interpersonal relationships.
The important point to remember is that for every right you have, the other person has similar rights. For example,you have the right to ask for what you want.The other person has an equal right to refuse you request
or indeed to request something of you. IF you ignore your own rights, you are being non-assertive and passive.An assertive system of 'rights' has to incorporate mutual respect for each other's needs, opinion's and feelings.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE THE FINAL AUTHORITY FOR WHAT YOU ARE, AND WHAT YOU DO.
