This course is designed for both professional mental health workers AND individuals looking to establish safety and connection in their KINKY sex practices. We'll examine how incorporating the modern science of Interpersonal Neurobiology with KINK dynamics can allow for increased co-regulation and self-regulation skills so we can fully enjoy the ANXIETY and STRESS we intentionally invite into SEX.
While consensual BDSM activities are no longer considered deviant by mental health standards, we still see BDSM practitioners experiencing stigmatization in and out of their kinky community. This class will explore common ways that BDSM stigmatization happens and what the impact of stigma is at individual and community levels.
