Ep229: Self-care for rope people

Self-care is a topic Mya is particularly passionate about, and in this episode we take a deep dive into what self-care means for people who practice rope. Although many of our episodes touch on aspects of caring for ourselves and our partners, this conversation focuses specifically on building self-care practices that support a healthy and sustainable relationship with rope. Topics include: • What self-care is and what it isn't • Why self-care is important in rope practice • The foundations of effective self-care • How self-care can look different for tops and bottoms • Mya and Fox's personal self-care approaches • Why self-awareness is one of the most important self-care skills • The highly individual nature of self-care • Practical ideas to support your own wellbeing • Adapting self-care to different styles and intensities of rope • The relationship between self-care and aftercare • Simple ways to start developing your own rope self-care practices Whether you're a top, bottom, switch, beginner or experienced practitioner, understanding your own needs can help you create a safer, more enjoyable and more sustainable rope journey.
