SUMMARY:ONLINE: Trauma Response As An s-Type with Oak
DESCRIPTION:All of us have experienced some form of trauma\, and many of us have experienced complex traumas. Trauma informs how we move through the world and within our relationships\, including D/s. Trauma response in submission is not a failure of submission; they’re pieces of us that have allowed us to survive. However\, when they show up inside a D/s dynamic\, they can get in the way of a grounded & chosen submission. \nThis interactive discussion asks how you tell the difference. Not just intellectually\, but in your body\, the moment\, and in the relationship. We’ll look at how nervous system activation shapes response\, and why a conditioned pattern can feel indistinguishable from a chosen one. \nWe’ll build language for what’s actually happening. We’ll look at what belongs to trauma\, to desire\, and what happens when the two have been living in the same room so long you’ve stopped noticing. \nThe frame we’ll return to the idea that submission is not the abandonment of the self. Submission is ideally an intentional offering of self. \nPRESENTER: \nOak is a community educator\, artist\, and collared & Owned sub with decades of work & event production in the Leather community. As the creator behind Oaken designs\, his artwork explores themes of devotion\, reverence\, and depravity through multiple mediums including resin work. Oak loves to facilitate conversations about ethical submission\, embodied consent\, and trauma-informed power. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer multiple price points\, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance. Choose the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/1d34453683

SUMMARY:ONLINE: Kink\, Trauma Play\, and Healing: A Research-Informed Deep Dive with Aidan Sunassee
DESCRIPTION:If you have engaged in trauma play in kink\, this class gives you a straightforward way to understand what was happening. Many kink practitioners who work with traumatic experiences through kink recognize the territory but often lack the language to describe it. Some leave a scene feeling steadier\, while others feel more shaken\, largely because no one ever taught them how to name the processes they just went through. People have been working through difficult emotions in kink for a long time\, and research is only now beginning to catch up. \nThis class brings together community insight and current research tidbits to offer a clearer picture of the patterns\, mechanics\, and meanings people often find in trauma play. Without idealizing or pathologizing the practice\, it provides a space to look closely at something many people know intimately and want to finally understand. Join us for a kinky deep-dive\, with plenty of time for questions and chit-chat! \nPRESENTER: \nAidan Sunassee (he/him) is a certified sexologist\, educator\, researcher\, and active member of the kink community. His facilitation style is trauma-aware\, grounded in inclusive practices\, and informed by both personal experience and academic research. He is dedicated to bridging the gap between academic knowledge and lived experience\, creating spaces where community voices are centered\, respected\, and empowered. Aidan is affiliated with the APA Division 44 Taskforce on Kink and BDSM\, serves on the board and research team of TASHRA\, and teaches with the Center for Positive Sexuality. His independent research explores how pleasure and power exchange intersect with healing in kink spaces and dynamics. Beyond his research\, he has developed and led community education programs on kink\, consent\, trauma awareness\, and ethical non-monogamy. \nAt the core of his approach is a belief that academic knowledge and lived truth must meet and challenge each other. \nTICKETING: \n$30 suggested. We offer several price points\, so that cost is less of a barrier to attendance. Please pay at the level you can comfortably afford. \nhttps://forbiddentickets.com/events/wicked-grounds/8aab075396
