Okay... the Boundary Doc
I've mentioned this a number of times and there's been some mild curiosity about it. I've also received some really good feedback from session partners about it... so, I'm deciding to share a template of my boundary document.
Lil background: I created this before I attended my first event. I have anxiety along with general nerves... and the first thing that checks out is my memory. I also get flustered easily when talking about tickling and while some view that as endearing 🙈, stumbling over words while discussing boundaries is less than ideal. Negotiations are essential and critical for ✨everyone's safety✨.
So, I did some research and some journaling and figured out exactly what my boundaries were and the kind of session I wanted to have. My goal was to make this document clear and to the point... something I could easily read off my phone. Which yes, this is how sessions always start with me. 😅 This version is something I made for a friend who wanted to share it with others in their local scene.
Note: I'm fairly new to the community and this isn't me positioning myself as an expert. This is simply a resource for anyone who could benefit from it. And it can just be a starting point too... my actual doc is an ugly bulleted list. 🤭
I do hope some of you find it helpful! 😸💜
PS- it's a capybara 😹
