ADHD and Anxiety Tips: Assertive Communication & Overcoming Social Anxiety
Hi. I’m Lynette from PanicAttackRecovery.com. We’re a collaboration of former sufferers who are helping those currently struggling
with anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia. However, anyone can benefit from our videos. One challenge for many people who have anxiety
is learning to say no. We discussed this issue with a psychologist
who ran a group for teaching assertiveness and he told
us about an interesting experience he had with the group.
One evening, all of the attendees were performing
an exercise where the person next to them would
ask them to do something. They were simply instructed to say no in reply to whatever the other person asked them
to do. Many people had trouble doing this. Instead, they felt the need to also explain
why their answer was no. This is interesting because the situation
was a controlled group exercise and not a real-life situation. The important takeaway messages from this
example are the following: First: Many people have trouble saying no. Period. Second: Many people feel the need to reveal
additional information because they aren’t comfortable simply saying no. However, the problem is that by explaining
themselves, they often give the other person making the
request more of an opportunity to challenge their original
response. In other words, explaining yourself
makes it harder to say no in the end. Had you just graciously said no, that might have ended the discussion. We’re not suggesting that you should go
through life simply saying no all of the time. However, if you have a problem being assertive
in this regard, try practicing role-playing this suggestion with a friend.
By practicing this suggestion over time you
will get better at it. Often anxiety sufferers can be helped by learning
how to be gracefully assertive in their relations with others. By learning polite assertiveness, you can
decrease your anxiety across several situations. We hope that you have enjoyed this video. To get more help with your anxiety, and obtain instant access to the 5 steps to
