　　Spot Dictation

　　Most unassertive people are not confident, and take ”no” for an answer much too easily. There is a growing awareness in our society that this tendency is jeopardizing the rights of large numbers of people. For example, in recent years there has been an upsurge in consumer protection organizations and pressure groups. This is a welcomed development, as there will always be a need for such organizations to protect the interests of individuals and minorities in a competitive society. The danger is that we become over-dependent on professional workers for our rights, and lose the art of serving ourselves. It is better for your self-esteem and relationships with other people if you can learn the art of persistence for yourself.

　　Now we have to learn to ignore some of the not so pleasant messages that may be ringing in our unconscious minds, such as “if ask once more, I’ll flatten you!” and “Don’t make a scene!”

　　The main technique that we use in assertiveness training to practice the art of persistence is called Broken Record. When the record is scratched, we hear one sentence over and over again until we reach screaming pitch and jump to turn it off. Broken Record is the skill of being able to repeat over and over again in an assertive and relaxed manner what it is you want or need, until the other person gives in or agree to negotiate with you. Now this technique is extremely useful for dealing with situations where your rights are clearly in danger of being abused, or coping with situations where you’re likely to be diverted by clever, articulate but irrelevant arguments.

　　The beauty of using Broken Record is that you have nothing more to worry about, because you know exactly what you’re going to say, however abusive or manipulative the other person tries to be. As with most assertivetechniques, it must be used appropriately. It is a self-protective skill, and is not designed to foster deep interesting conversations and friendships with people. It is primarily of use in situations where your time and energy is precious.
