Some clients find it difficult to talk about their feelings and needs, which can make it challenging to connect with others. This is why good communication matters — so that people can learn to share their thoughts and express their needs clearly, which helps build better relationships.
The How Are You Communicating Therapy Poster features 4 types of communication styles — passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, assertive. Each communication style is clearly explained with examples to help clients better understand how they express themselves and interact with others.
Understanding these communication styles helps kids and teens notice their own habits, which may help reduce passive, aggressive, or passive-aggressive tendencies.
Caring adults can use this poster as a tool to discuss communication and emotional regulation. They can also incorporate games where kids act out scenarios while others guess what type of communication style they are presenting.
