Do you know you have rights but feel completely unable to actually claim them? Like somewhere between knowing and doing there's this wall of fear, history, and "but what if they get angry" that stops you every single time? Yeah. That's what this one's about.
This is not a workshop that tells you to just speak up. It's a workshop that starts with why speaking up feels impossible and takes it from there. Because knowing your rights and feeling like you're allowed to have them are two completely different things. Today we're doing both.
What we'll cover:
- Why asserting your rights is genuinely terrifying and why that makes complete sense
- How trauma, people pleasing, and marginalisation make claiming rights harder
- Your physical, emotional,financial, sexual, sensory, social and identity rights and what they actually are
- Why each one is hard to claim
- Where to start when you're scared aka small, safe, survivable steps
- A cheat sheet you can keep and come back to when you need to tap into that inner power and knowledge about what rights you know you have and how to assert them!
A note on safety:
We'll be talking about rights which means we'll be acknowledging they've been violated. There will be a content note at the start. Take up space, step out if you need to, and know that whatever you're carrying into this room is welcome here.
Who is this for?
Anyone who has ever shrunk themselves to keep the peace. Anyone who knows what they're entitled to but can't quite make themselves claim it. Anyone who has been told, whether directly or indirectly, that their needs are too much, too inconvenient, or just not valid/important.
This workshop is trauma-infored, queer and neurodivergent affirming and free spots are reserved for trans and gender diverse people and First Nations folk.
