Assertiveness Techniques
Assertiveness techniques are skills that you can use when you need for someone to "take you seriously" and to "get your point across."
Broken CD Technique
This technique makes sure that your words are heard and taken seriously. It is good to use this technique when you're setting a boundary with someone and he/she is not listening to you or beginning to argue with you. It is done by repeating your statement over and over again.
Example:
You: I would like for you to stop calling me every five minutes!
Other: ...but I need to talk to you often.
You: I would like for you to stop calling me every five minutes!
Other: ...but you don't understand...
You: I would like for you to stop calling me every five minutes!
