SUMMARY:Anxiety and Kink: Navigating Community\, Scenes\, and Relationships with AJ Renard
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nMany people struggle with anxiety— from nagging\, anxious thoughts to full-blown panic attacks\, and sometimes it feels like it can pop up out of nowhere. This class delves into how to navigate kink (whether it be events\, play\, or a power exchange dynamic) with anxiety. We will discuss how it might show up or be triggered within certain situations\, as well as strategies for handling those scenarios\, ways PE dynamics can help create structure to manage anxiety\, and grounding tricks you can use anywhere. \nPresenter Bio\nAJ Renard (she/her) has been involved in the BDSM world her entire adult life\, although she was a dark little thing far before that. AJ is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and has a deep passion for teaching about the intersection of BDSM and mental health. She finds her happy place when there is rope\, electricity\, knives\, boots\, fear\, and a lot of crying involved. \nAJ teaches a variety of classes about consent\, negotiations\, perspectives on D/s\, bottoming for intense scenes and edgeplay\, mental health and BDSM\, and behavioral science in PE dynamics. Additionally she often teaches about BDSM in non-kink spaces\, hoping to de-stigmatize kink for therapists and medical professionals. She also loves demo bottoming for Violet Wand demos\, and things that make her shy in front of groups of people. \nTickets are $5 for Black Rose Members and Members of Reciprocal Groups with their Membership Card and $10 for non-members. \nAll ticket sales are at the door. \n\nEmail info@br.org for more information about Black Rose or its events. \nAccessibility accommodations are available upon request to accessibility@br.org. Please give us two weeks’ notice. \nIf you have questions or would like to request a class topic\, please email education@br.org
