Through #shibaribondage, I found the power of self advocacy.⁠
⁠
When you are being tied, it’s imperative that you communicate your fears, your comfort and discomfort, your feelings of safety, your limitations and capabilities…⁠
⁠
There’s no pushing your feelings to the side. Your physical wellbeing is in their hands and YOU are the most precious thing to protect.⁠

⁠
For those who struggle with #peoplepleasing, the direct need to clearly communicate these boundaries in such an actionable way can build this skill.⁠
⁠
For those who have experienced trauma and never felt like they had a voice, it empowers and emboldens you to honor and advocate for your needs.⁠
⁠
Coming into your body in such a connected way can be a powerful experience of self love as you learn to trust yourself, dare to push yourself past perceived limitations, and explore the depths of intimacy and vulnerability with another. ⁠
⁠
Who would have thought a little bit of rope could be so powerful?⁠
