Hack Your Passivity

In this episode John talks about aggression and passivity, and how the positions that we take in our relationships can stop us from from having fulfilling and meaningful connections with the people we love. Listen to find out:

• Why being assertive is not about getting your own way
• How your desire to please people encourages them to treat you badly
• How you are inadvertently blocking the intimacy in your relationships
• Why it's important that you win

 

“When we take the one-down position we volunteer to be less important in the relationship.”

“You cannot have intimacy in a relationship if you’re not on the same level.”
