Hello lovely people! 

My mum and I sit down and talk assertiveness, friendships and a whole bunch of other unplanned things. I hope you are all staying well. 

For help with cultivating assertiveness I would reccomend The Gottman Institute (i found an article on tips on asserting yourself when I googled: how to be assertive gottman. Also, there are lots of worksheets and pdfs available on the internet to help you practice the skills! I don't think you can click on hyperlinks so I'm afraid you'll have to do a couple of quick searches. 

As always feel free to reach out and I wish you all the goodness in the world. <3
