Class Description
Your client tells you that they suffer for their partner or kink. What is suffering? Why would our clients do it, and should we as professionals be worried? In this class, we will discuss what it means to suffer, the different ways people suffer in play and dynamics, how to assess safety, and what to keep in mind during therapy.
