Catch Da Flava - Healthy Relationships
Catch
Da Flava had their third show of the new year on January 19th 2019! This
time around, our hosts Shejuanah, Thalia, Kylie, Jenna and Jessica held a
discussion around healthy relationships.
Our
hosts first began by defining the different kinds of relationships that can exist
in our lives, whether that be friendships, familial relationships, professional
relationships or romantic relationships. They then went on to compare the qualities
that make up a healthy relationship versus an unhealthy relationship.
Healthy
qualities that were spoken about included trust, empathy, communication,
compatibility, support, mutual happiness, reciprocation, mutual pre-established
boundaries, as well as respect and consent. Some unhealthy qualities that were
discussed included abuse, whether it be emotional or physical, manipulation and
similar tactics like guilting and gaslighting, betrayal and cheating, lying and
general untrustworthiness, jealousy, possessiveness and unhealthy habits that
fall outside of established boundaries.
Finally,
our hosts concluded the segment with a conversation around consent, defining
implicit and explicit consent, and speaking to the importance of attaining
consent in every situation, not just those involving physical intimacy, for
every person, regardless of gender or identity.
