The Intersection of BDSM and Trauma
In The intersection of BDSM and Trauma you will learn how to navigate BDSM when you and/or your partner has trauma, PTSD, or negative triggering experiences that may come up during play. We will focus on how to avoid triggering fear associations as well as how to prepare for them in a considered, educated, and compassionate manner. We will discuss Van der Kolk’s theory of somatic trauma and how to communicate with our partners’ non-verbal nervous systems. You will learn about the dangers of triggering somatic trauma responses: how to anticipate them and prepare for them. You will learn about the role BDSM can play in either enflaming or soothing traumatic memories. You will learn about the relationship that boundaries, triggers, and control have with defanging somatic trauma and refiling traumatic memories.
Requirements: 101 Consent for subspace, Pre-negotiation, and Aftercare or equivalent knowledge.

Class Info
The lessons at Miss Kill’s Domina Finishing School are private lessons held at the studio in Weisensee, Berlin. The classes are offered for a wide range of skill sets from absolute amateurs and casual players to professional Dominatrixes. Private lessons are two hours long and you are the only student so that you can have the undivided attention of the Professorin and model as well as learning in a safe and private atmosphere where you can ask as many questions as you need. For relevant individual lessons, a model will be provided to practice on. Classes can also be booked by couples or small groups.
