“We never sat down and said: “We’re going to use kink to process trauma”. We just kind of did it one day. It can be very scary. But if done correctly and consensually and with the right partner(s), it can be something that is also very healing.”
“Using BDSM to Cope with Trauma” Vice Guide to Sex
One can use BDSM play to create art and also as a means to get very turned-on. Yes, one can do that.
But at a deeper level BDSM play is also a very powerful way to deal with trauma—both personal and cultural.
In this workshop we will discuss techniques to create deep and healing forms of play both for yourself and those who you love. From our experience, these forms of play have the capacity to open you up and release deep-seated pain and fear, while showing you new ways of living and being with others.
