Using Kink & BDSM Scenes in Emotional Expression & Processing

Class Description

Kink and BDSM are practices with a wide variety of motivations and purposes. In this session, Mxstress will explore how Kink and BDSM have (and can) be utilized in pursuit of emotional expression and processing of day-to-day emotions. Mxstress will begin the session with a short exploration of the foundational components (psychological, cultural, neurological, psychosomatic, physiological, etc.) of why Kink and BDSM are useful tools in your emotional processing tool kit. After these foundations are explored, attendees will learn more about the practical applications of Kink and BDSM being used as a tool for emotional expression and processing. Mxstress will facilitate discussion for attendees to share, reflect, and apply this framework to their own experiences (past, present, and/or future) and conclude the space with Q&A.
