Our Embodied Remembering coaching agreements:
We meet ourselves where we’re at now. We commit to pausing and listening again and again.
Pace yourself, go gently, there are no quick fixes or completion to pleasure. It can be easy to disengage, deprioritise, and leave when processes around pleasure don’t feel immediately rewarding. Seek support, tend to your needs, find your momentum.
Assume you and I are doing our best. This is a space to be in fumbly relationship with yourself and your pleasure.
Practice curiosity in our listening, responding and exploring. Notice your self shaming, notice your reactions, assumptions, and judgements. Resist either/or thinking of good or bad, all or nothing.
We both practice voicing our needs and wants as we go. Be accountable in potential conflict or mismatch, and approach conflict as a generative learning experience.
Confidentiality is essential. You can share concepts and ideas we learn in sessions, but no specifics of people’s experiences.
This is not therapy and safety is not a given. Safety is an experience we can aspire to create more of, but is not absolute. This group is not the space for emotional processing and therapeutic support, or seeking support in safety related experiences.
Be accountable in potential conflict, and approach conflict as a generative learning experience. Doing (unintentional) harm through actions, words, or mismatched expectations is often unavoidable. The difference is in approaching conflict as a generative moment to learn, repair, and possibility even build more intimacy and understanding.
Any you would like to add to create more safety or understanding?
