Keeping Yourself Safe: Toxic vs. Healthy Relationship Dynamics

Running Time:
2 hour 13 minutes

BDSM can be tantalizing, sexy and stimulating for its participants because of its intensity... but what makes it different from abuse?!? This class acknowledges the importance of differentiating between healthy kink dynamics that add to the experiences of all involved vs harmful relationships masquerading as kinky. For those who have been in a toxic dynamic or are getting ready to leave one, it is important to remember that there is still so much joy in the world. Our hope is after attending this class you'll feel empowered to find that joy again. Arm yourself with the knowledge many of us wish we knew before exploring kink/BDSM with a partner(s).

What to expect:

• Examples of what a healthy power exchange relationship could look like
• How to spot red flags/look for what to avoid
• How to protect yourself against predators, manipulators, and energy vampires
• How to set healthy boundaries
• How to identify when a kinky dynamic has taken a bad turn
• Rebuilding your self worth after having someone break it down
• Tips for when you want to get intimate with someone new after leaving a toxic relationship/dynamic
• Resources for providing help and support
