Asking for what you actually want is harder than it sounds. So is receiving it without managing the giver. So is taking pleasure for yourself, or allowing without bracing. In fifteen minutes, you and your partner move through these four roles in turn, and notice — without judgement — how each one lives in you. From Dr. Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent.

Great for when...
You want to practise asking for what you need, how to offer giving, and how to express boundaries, in a way that creates more connection. You will also have a clearer picture of what your specific needs may be.
Afterwards, you might feel...
Safer in communication, empowered in asking for what you need or desire, empowered in expressing what you're available for, connected and co-regulated in relating.
Preparation
Find a comfortable, private place where you won't be disturbed. Sit across from each other. Before you begin, take a moment to share with each other what is off limits for this practice.
