In the field of tension between assistance, the health system, mutual support, care and bodywork, a multitude of different touches take place. How do we allow dependency? What level of trust and which rules do we need to feel safe with each other? What boundaries do we set and what roles do we experience? Julia Bonn, Katrin Dinges and Inga Zimprich will share their own experiences of sharing care and giving and receiving assistance.
