We treat assertiveness disorders at The Well Woman, LLC – Ellenwood, GA. Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive. When individuals are passive, they are often left feeling dissatisfied, overlooked, and worthless because their needs are not getting met and their boundaries are being disregarded. These feelings can turn into resentment for oneβs self and others and lead to feelings of anxiety or a depressed mood.
