Session 10: Assertiveness in the Three Realms

Why it is important:

Balanced assertiveness—neither aggression nor passivity—supports integrity in thought, feeling, and action.

How it works:

IDL clarifies internal hierarchies of authority so participants act from inner consensus rather than fear or compliance.

Interview to Engage:

Interview “Courage,” “Boundaries,” or “My Voice.”

Application/Homework:

• Practice one assertive behavior in each realm: thinking, emotion, and action.
• Reflect on inner and outer responses.
• Revise approach from the interviewed perspective.
