The Power of Consent: Navigating Healthy Relationships with Elizabeth Akunyele
“If we are in a relationship, we should be able to communicate. If we are in a relationship, you should know I would always be here, especially when we are sexually active.”
How often do we truly understand the meaning of 'yes' and 'no' in our relationships? In this thought-provoking episode of the Liza Express Podcast, therapist Elizabeth Akunyele takes a deep dive into the crucial topic of consent. She sheds light on how saying 'no' is just as important as saying 'yes', and why mutual respect and communication are the bedrock of any healthy relationship. Elizabeth doesn't sugarcoat the reality that abuse is a global issue, transcending borders and cultures.
With a particular focus on the impact of sexual abuse in Nigeria, she emphasizes that any non-consensual act is a form of abuse, no matter where it happens. The episode is packed with practical advice on setting boundaries, being assertive, and navigating the tricky waters of sexual experiences. Elizabeth also tackles the tough subjects of guilt, coercion, and blackmail, offering listeners actionable strategies to foster safe and respectful relationships.
