What It Is:
This worksheet outlines the 'DEAR MAN' strategy for effective communication, which is a DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) technique. It breaks down the acronym DEAR MAN into steps: Describe (facts without judgment), Express (using 'I' statements), Assert (clearly state needs), Reinforce (reward positive responses), Mindfulness (stay focused), Appear Confident (posture, eye contact, tone), and Negotiate (compromise). Each step includes a brief explanation and an example sentence.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is most suitable for high school students (Grades 9-12) and adults. The concepts of emotional expression, assertiveness, and negotiation require a level of maturity and cognitive development typically found in older adolescents and adults.
Why Use It:

It promotes self-awareness, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution skills, ultimately increasing the likelihood of positive outcomes in interpersonal interactions.
How to Use It:
Use this worksheet as a guide during conversations or role-playing exercises. Read through each step of the DEAR MAN acronym and apply the principles to real-life situations. Practice crafting sentences that align with each step to improve communication skills.
Target Users:
