As a practitioner, I have a consent form that gives me permission to treat, which includes to touch, my clients. In any relationship, whether in a professional or personal setting, consent is vital. Recently, a friend mentioned “enthusiastic consent”, a concept that has really stuck with me. What would it be like to to live in a world where consent was enthusiastic, boundaries were respected, and no one was steam-rolled or disrespected? What can we do to make this so?
