<p>Why would most people endure unwanted or unsatisfying touch, rather than speak up for their own boundaries and desires? Its a question with a myriad of answers - and one that Dr. Betty Martin has explored in her 40+ years as a hands-on practitioner, first as a chiropractor and later as a Somatic Sex Educator, Certified Surrogate Partner and Sacred Intimate. In her client sessions, she noticed a pattern wherein many clients would allow or go along with discomfort or unease rather than speak up for what they wanted or didnt want. Betty discovered there was a major component missing for people -- the confidence that we have a choice about what is happening to us.<p/><p>In her framework, The Wheel of Consent® Betty traces the fundamental roots of consent back to our childhood conditioning. As children, we are taught that to be good we must ignore our bodys discomfort and be compliant: to finish our food even if were full, to go to bed - even if were not tired, to let relatives hug and kiss us even if we dont want to. We learn that our feelings dont matter more than what is happening, and that we dont have a choice but to go along, whether or not we want it.<p/><p>As adults, this conditioning remains with us until we have an opportunity to unlearn it, which is why consent violations are often only called out after the violation has occurred - because we have not been taught or empowered to notice our boundaries, much less value or express our internal signals as the unwanted action is happening.<p/><p>In this book, Betty guides the reader through the Wheel of Consent framework, and shares practices to help us recover the ability to notice what we want and set clear boundaries. While the practices are based on exchanges of touch, they can also be learned without touch. In these practices, we discover that the Art of Giving includes knowing our own limits so we can be more generous within those
