I tend to accept a certain amount of residuals etc as part of what I do...but it's the emotional feeling of having put yourself in a position where I've been much more vulnerable than indended, or that my top wasn't "psychic" (ha ha) enough to know I was really suffering, I find that's the 'danger' for me: I have rarely truly feared for my physical safety, but my emotional safety is the area that I know I need to take utmost responsability for.
