I\u2019m Lynette from <a href=\"https:\/\/panicattackrecovery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PanicAttackRecovery.com<\/a>. We\u2019re a collaboration of former sufferers who are helping those currently struggling\r\nwith anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia. However, anyone can benefit from our videos. One challenge for many people who have anxiety\r\nis learning to say no. We discussed this issue with a psychologist\r\nwho ran a group for teaching assertiveness and he told\r\nus about an interesting experience he had with the group.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nOne evening, all of the attendees were performing\r\nan exercise where the person next to them would\r\nask them to do something. They were simply instructed to say no in reply to whatever the other person asked them\r\nto do. Many people had trouble doing this. Instead, they felt the need to also explain\r\nwhy their answer was no. This is interesting because the situation\r\nwas a controlled group exercise and not a real-life situation. The important takeaway messages from this\r\nexample are the following: First: Many people have trouble saying no. Period. Second: Many people feel the need to reveal\r\nadditional information because they aren\u2019t comfortable simply saying no. However, the problem is that by explaining\r\nthemselves, they often give the other person making the\r\nrequest more of an opportunity to challenge their original\r\nresponse. In other words, explaining yourself\r\nmakes it harder to say no in the end. Had you just graciously said no, that might have ended the discussion. We\u2019re not suggesting that you should go\r\nthrough life simply saying no all of the time. However, if you have a problem being assertive\r\nin this regard, try practicing role-playing this suggestion with a friend.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/736843\/pexels-photo-736843.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;h=650&amp;w=940\" \/>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBy practicing this suggestion over time you\r\nwill get better at it. Often anxiety sufferers can be helped by learning\r\nhow to be gracefully assertive in their relations with others. By learning polite assertiveness, you can\r\ndecrease your anxiety across several situations. We hope that you have enjoyed this video.
