The 4 Communication Styles: Which One Are You?
The 4 Communication Styles: Which One Are You?
A downloadable handout that outlines the 4 types of communication styles (Passive, Passive-Aggressive, Aggressive and Assertive) including how it will show up in interactions and the effects it can have on the individual and those they interact with.
A series of reflection questions will also help you get a little clearer on how you interact with others and how you may begin to pivot from a more passive, passive-aggressive or aggressive communicator to one that is more assertive.
By the end of this worksheet, you should be able to:
Identify the 4 types of communication and examples of people who communicate in this style
Naming the impact that each style can have on how someone connects and communicates with others as well as how they are received
Identification of your primary communication style including stressors and activators for this and other forms of communication
Opportunity to reflect on what makes assertive communication more challenging and what you would need in order to make a shift in how you communicate

As a therapist, my goal is to make the concepts, tools and ideas shared and discussed in therapy more accessible for people in and outside of the therapy room so I want to do what I can to help get these tools into the hands of the people that need and want them.
