Relationship Agreements about Media — Review journal
Review an attempt at relationship agreements about media and choose what to keep, change, or leave aside.
10 minutes · Journal prompts · Adults; supported use as appropriate
Fictional example: Noah and a partner have never clearly discussed expectations about sexual media.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Partners can clarify agreements without assuming identical preferences.
Before looking back
Choose one ordinary attempt or decide to review the fictional example instead. This journal has no scores, required disclosure, or expectation of progress.
Revisit the practice
Privately identify preferences, boundaries, and questions; joint discussion requires safety and voluntary participation.
Notice context and impact
Record what actually happened, including an unhelpful or neutral outcome. Note resources, power differences, accessibility, and changed conditions rather than attributing everything to personal effort.
Choose a revision
What needs clarification before a broken agreement is assumed? Keep the approach, change one part, ask for support, or set it aside. A mismatch is useful information.
