Aggressive Communication

People communicate in unique ways, but they often fall back on a particular ‘style’ of communication. This tool can help you spot when you communicate in aggressive ways, understand what keeps this going, and explore the impact it has on you and other people. 

Overview

Assertive communication can have a positive impact on people’s mental health, relationships, and work life. A key component of assertiveness training is recognizing different ‘styles’ of communication. This Aggressive Communication information handout provides a detailed overview of this communication style. It describes common signs of aggressive communication, factors that perpetuate it, and the negative consequences it can have for individuals and their relationships.
