    This course has helped me better understand the importance of sexual boundaries, consent and respectful communication in relationships. I’ve come to realize that in the past I struggled with fully understanding these things. Especially around emotional responses to intimacy and boundaries.
    This course motivated me to take full responsibility for learning and growing. I’m committed to applying what I’ve learned to ensure that I always act with respect, empathy, and emotional awareness in all relationships.

    Really informative on reading behind the words and between the lines with our spouses . I have learnt not to listen to the letter that kills but the words they are trying to say. However I think the world will be better if everyone one just say exactly what they mean
