Consent and the Nervous System Workshop

This workshop is open for all. You do not have to have gone to Clare's other workshops to gain something from this one.

This space is for folks would like a safer space to practice the areas of challenge, whether that is having access to your yes, no, and/or maybe, practicing direct communication, noticing limits, differentiating between wants and willingness.

Here you will learn about how trauma and survival states can impact the ability to consent. Topics will include 4F survival strategies, polyvagal theory, signs of overwhelm, how to manage triggers, survival states, and move from freeze to rest and connection.

This is a space to go towards the edges of comfort, will steep more deeply in difficulty or discomfort while learning, and may stir some stories stored in the body.

Due to the nature of the topic I cannot guarantee this is a trigger-free zone. One-on-one support is available and everything is optional. You are encouraged to come as you are. Active participation looks many ways (journaling, saying no to an activity, self-soothing, taking a break, sharing with the group, and so on).
