When To Speak Up For What You Want Or Say No

Sometimes it isn't clear whether you should ask for what you want, or keep quiet and deal with things as they are. Mood and relationship skills coach Anna Lindberg Cedar MPA LCSW explains what Dialectical Behavior Therapy research says about understanding the intensity of your needs and how to communicate them. Don't let strong emotions get in the way of your priorities, but rather - learn how self-care skills can help you understand your needs in the context of a healthy relationship. *Keep in mind that DBT skills are designed for use in developing safe and healthy relationships. Please contact the National DV Hotline  1-800-799-7233 or 9-1-1 if you need crisis support resources.* Self-care is self-love. This is not therapy. This is Real Life.
