Neurobiology Of Trauma And It’s Overlap In Kink - Healing Through Kink

BDSM holds many useful tools for healing parts of ourselves, particularly those parts of our brain and bodies which were harmed in relationships and power dynamics. The ability to create and cultivate safe, consensual, clearly negotiated play provides a perfect framework for reclaiming power and redefining our relationship with ourselves and others. However engaging in kink as a tool for trauma healing can also cause more harm if not done well. This workshop will provide in depth neurobiology of the intersections between kink and trauma, as well as some basic guidelines and strategies for beginning the use of kink in healing, and precautions to take to ensure more damage doesn’t occur. Your access to your pleasure, and the full expression of your erotic self, often awaits just on the other side of trauma.
