B(P)DSM

B(P)DSM  dives into the lives of BDSM community members living with Borderline Personality Disorder. This class will discuss how the stigma around Cluster B Personality Disorders such as BPD can marginalize  and harm players with this condition. The presentation includes symptoms of BPD, and how these might present themselves to someone unfamiliar with the diagnosis. While we know BDSM is no substitute for therapy, I will be illuminating how BDSM can be positive for those living with BPD. I will draw from my lived experience navigating the world of  BDSM as someone with this condition to guide those taking this class into informed and beneficial dynamics, and those we play with/ form relationships with.
