Weaponized Autonomy

Weaponized Autonomy

First of all, yes, you are absolutely entitled ALWAYS to decide for yourself what you want to say and do. You have FULL CONTROL over that. That’s 100% true. AND you also have a responsibility as a human being to treat the people in your sphere well, SIMULTANEOUSLY as you exercise your autonomy.
Prioritizing a Partner is NOT Hierarchy

Prioritizing a Partner is NOT Hierarchy

The inherent assumption is that the status of “highest priority” in hierarchical relationships will remain permanently and never ever waver, which is, for most, unrealistic. And in practice is quite a powerful and sometimes inaccurate assumption. It can also feed harmful behaviours (VETO is an example) and ways of thinking of someone else as intrinsically LESS. Which is personally why I don’t practice hierarchy.

Testimonial

It was a real pleasure working with Leanne. She is very perceptive, direct, and intuitive. She is empathetic and looks at the whole situation through a compassionate lens. She put me at ease about some things that I was new to! And that helped me to feel more comfortable and confident in my romantic relationship. Leanne is a great expert in relationships and sexuality. I highly recommend her and would use her services again if the need arises.
