Building on last week’s topic of boundary setting, consent is the result of setting specific boundaries. To give consent means to give approval of something. Not limited to intimacy, consent can be given in all aspects of life. It’s important that we always ask for consent when requesting something of another.
Boundaries are the limits and rules that people set for themselves in relationships and in life. Someone with healthy boundaries can say “no” when they want to, but they are also comfortable opening themselves up to intimacy and close relationships. Being able to set boundaries is essential to healthy relationships and a healthy life. If we don’t set boundaries, we can become frustrated and lash out to our loved ones.
With cases increasing during this holiday season, a new stay at home order is about to take place. Many may experience anxiety and feelings of depression during this isolation period. It’s important that during this time, we are taking care of our mental health and checking in with our loved ones.
In the case of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, there are many allegations of physical and verbal abuse. After their divorce, Amber made claims that Johnny had abused her throughout their marriage and won a court case against him in the U.K. However, this year, evidence emerged that Amber admitted to hitting Johnny and having anger issues. According to a male trauma expert, almost all men never state that they’ve been abused. With Johnny and Amber, we can never know what really happened between them. But, if we believe her, then we must also believe him when he says that he was abused.
