March 12 – When Healing Hurts and Hurting Heals

Intro to intersections of trauma,
kink, & sex

Trauma affects most of us at some point in our lives, either directly or through someone we care about. Everyone experiences, reacts to, and heals through trauma in their own unique ways; we can never assume any two people’s experience will be the same, even if there are many commonalities. The impact of trauma can show up in all different areas of our lives, often in unexpected ways or at unexpected times. Trauma can also have a huge impact on our sexual functioning, health, and relationships as well as our kink/BDSM relationships and dynamics (with ourselves and others) even if the actual trauma did not involve those aspects of our selves. During this class, we will discuss what trauma is, including a discussion about PTSD and cPTSD, as well as some of the many ways it might intersect with our sexual and/or kink health and relationships. We’ll also discuss some strategies for how to better understand, navigate, and communicate about these intersections.
