The brain’s threat responses remind us that consent is not as simple as “yes” or “no”. The brain selects a threat response automatically in an attempt to keep the person safe. Many harmful stereotypes about how a victim of assault “should” respond neglect the complexities of how the brain attempts to keep the body safe. It is not helpful to shame a survivor or sexual assault for how they responded to harm. Consent conversations and examining factors that could impact a person’s ability to consent are crucial. Listen to and support survivors with kindness, empathy, and care.If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, we are always here to support💜Third Place Transition House 24H Support Line : 902-893-3232Third Place Transition House Business Line: 902-893-4844Toll-Free Support Line : 1-800-565-4878Call or Text Provincial Toll-Free Line : 1-855-225-0220 ...
