#81 - WHEEL OF CONSENT - Dr. Betty Martin on Fulfilling Relationships: Respecting Our Own and Others' Needs and Desires

Do you struggle with communicating your needs and boundaries in relationships? Do you want to create more conscious relationships and deeper connections with your loved ones? Have you ever felt unsure about what true consent looks like? In this episode, Nora talks with Dr. Betty Martin. Dr. Betty Martin is the creator of the groundbreaking concept "the Wheel of Consent." Dr. Martin's work has been fundamental in reshaping our understanding of consent, intimacy, and boundaries. It offers important insights into why so many people often feel unsatisfied in their relationships and what we can do to create more fulfilling interactions while respecting our own needs and boundaries and those of others. Throughout the episode, we discuss the Wheel of Consent and what "arriving at consent" really means. You will learn about the differences between the two dynamics of serving and receiving and allowing and taking. Betty provides examples of how the three-minute game can enhance self-awareness and how it can be used to practice the skills of being aware of and able to communicate boundaries and desires. We also discuss the importance of the body in all of this and the positive impact that "having a choice" can have on relationships.
