Class Description
Service is an incredibly beautiful part of the BDSM scene, but being a service person with mental illness and neurodivergence creates unique challenges for us to work both around and with. Having different levels of ability and energy than a non-mentally-ill, non-neurodivergent service person can also lead those of us with those challenges to feel lesser, or maybe that we can't even BE a good service person.
As someone who deals with ADHD, clinical depression, anxiety, and trauma, I want to help show the ways I've learned to work around my challenges and help instill confidence for those who want to serve but feel at a loss. This will include small ideas for service that many people will be able to try, and also different ways to rethink ones thinking around mental health challenges.
