Most of us grow up fearing and avoiding conflict with others. Sometimes the perception of others becomes much more essential than our own perception of ourselves. That mindset can truly be kryptonite for effective communication. It can hinder us from expressing our wants and needs and often leaves us agitated and depressed.

It's a communication style and a skill that can be mastered so we can lead a liberating life without worrying much about expressing our opinions while not hurting those around us. It's truly a life-changing gift for those who have ingrained it.
