Consent, Capacity, and Nuance w/ Sar Surmick

In this episode of the Subspace Exploration Project Clay and Todd meet with Sar Surmic from the Consent Academy to discuss nuance and the evolution of consent culture and the language we use to discuss it. They talk about our capacity to take on the responsibilities of intimacy any time we engage with others, and the importance of trust to heal and repair when mistakes are inevitably made.

Sar Surmick is a Marriage & Family Therapist, Professor, Identity Specialist, and an internationally known consent expert. She is the founder and director emeritus of the Consent Academy and one of the authors of the Consent Primer.
