Consent - What Is It Anyway? - Dr. Tina Koopersmith

Consent — Can I vs May I??


Most people have a limited version of consent as it relates to physical touch and sexuality. And it's way bigger than that.


Physical touch is only one way you are being touched every single moment of every single day. And ideally you are a conscious being of choice and you get to consent to everything that enters your life, your world, your reality. Because every day thoughts, emotions, and energy from others and your environment from your reality are trying to invade your space.


Let’s review Bette Martin’s Wheel of Consent:


You vs they
Give vs receive


And how that affects every experience of your life. Are you allowing yourself to be touched for their pleasure or your pleasure? Are you touching another for their pleasure or your pleasure?


And remember touch can be a thought, an emotion, and an energetic state, not just physical.


So are you consenting to allow the external reality to affect your inner peace— your inner safety?

~ More About Your Healing Playground with Dr. Tina Koopersmith ~ 


Dr. Tina Koopersmith has practiced Western medicine for over 30 years. But she is so much more than a physician. An integrative medicine and fertility specialist, she is a transformational healer and coach who not only brings life to her patients but reminds them that it is their responsibility and, in their power, to bring themselves back to vibrancy and vitality.


Root cause healing starts with energy, emotions, communication—between your cells and your soul.


As a speaker-coach-author as well as mother, nonconformist, and recovering perfectionist, she is dedicated to modifying our health care system from one focused on illness and sickness to one devoted to prevention and wellness.


She reminds us all that love, play, pleasure and purpose are the secret ingredients to wellness. She starts with the premise we all have the same parts and very similar DNA, and yet we all have different experiences and imprinting. Our unique signature means we are all wired to access safety and pleasure in a slightly different fashion; this diversity is to be praised and celebrated.


When our body feels safe, we can move from our “childhood” survival stress mode to our “Wise Sage Self”. Healing, recovery and regeneration thrive only when we stop resisting what is and celebrate all of life with acceptance of the NOW.
Health and Wellness is nourished with empathy, compassion innovation and connection—a total integration of the mind body, the heart body, the physical body and the energetic. ALL are worthy of self-care, self-acceptance and self-love.
