In Episode 5 on my Vodcast I speak on Passive Communication Style.
Typically, it is a style where individuals have developed a
pattern of avoiding expressing their opinions or feelings, protecting their
rights, and identifying and meeting their needs. As a result, passive
individuals do not respond overtly to hurtful or anger-inducing situations.
It can be useful in specific contexts, particularly for conflict
avoidance, de-escalation and respecting others' views. For effective
interactions, balancing passive communication with assertive techniques is
crucial, as this helps build healthier, more transparent relationships and
enables individuals to meet both personal and collective needs.
