Weaponized Autonomy

Weaponized Autonomy

by | Nov 20, 2023 | , , , , , , , , , ,

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

“I was brand new to D/s relationships and navigating a new relationship in that dynamic. In addition to this, I had lost my own path in a previous relationship, my career, and other goals. Leanne not only helped me with learning about D/S but also helped me to learn about myself again. She easily worked with my volatile state and gave me tools to discover myself, my new relationship, and the D/s dynamic. By the end of our set of sessions, I was in a new space and am now able to further work on other goals in my life. I am grateful to have met Leanne.”
