This clip is from the archives! It was filmed right after the last time I presented The Psychological Appeal of B..D..S..M for care professionals. Many of you asked me to let you know when it was happening again. THAT TIME IS NOW!  Well, almost now… Friday 10/15/2021 to be exact! This is a virtual session through KPACT - Kink & Poly Aware Chicago Therapists. This class is intended for therapists, educators, coaches, and other care professionals who work with k1nky/k1nk-curious clients & will be presented from a professional/clinical perspective. It’s also worth 2 CE Credits & free for students. A brief description of The Psychological Appeal of B..D..S..M: “Most of us are familiar with physical forms of kink. Activities like sp@nk1ng, b0ndage, and sensation play are common fare. But what about the psychological side? How do k1nksters mentally benefit from physical play? Why do unpleasantries like disgust, fear, and extreme degradat10n appeal to so many? How can emulating real-world oppressive power structures in the bedroom net a positive outcome? In what ways can play go too far and cause harm?” There’s a link to the event page with full details in my Instagram bio or you can get it here: https://www.kpact.xyz/product/the-psychological-appeal-of-bdsm/ NOTE: If you’re a “civilian” and are bummed out because this is a professional seminar and not intended for general audiences--GOOD NEWS! I’ll be offering a similar class designed for personal/partnered exploration in the near future. Keep an eye on my social media for that announcement or sign up for my newsletter on my website (also in bio).  #kpact #kinkawareprofessional #sexpositivetherapy #lmft #kinkpsychology #kinkyclients #kinkeducation #chicagotherapy #kinkclass #sexcoach #sexcoaching #sexcounselor #sexcounseling https://www.instagram.com/p/CUqa1bRjwM9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Posted @withregram • @wildflower_emotional_health Parents: We know it takes a village to raise a child. Your village, while not gone, is limited in its ability to support you right now. Family members can’t babysit, preschools are closed, schools had to put you in charge of remote learning, and playdates and social outings are cancelled. We know you are stretched beyond measure as you manage the myriad fears, challenges, and real concerns the pandemic has created. - Many of you worry that you are not doing enough for your children. As mental health professionals, we want to remind you that your kids don’t need perfect parents. They need loving, beautifully imperfect ones. Circle of Security model does an excellent job explaining what children need from their caregivers to thrive. We share this short Circle of Security video with you in hopes it shows you that you are doing MORE than enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6DhnbgRAOo - #mentalhealth #parenting #supportingfamilies #chicagotherapy #chicagotherapist #perinatalmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #responsiveparenting #secureattachment #securebase https://www.instagram.com/p/CC0qS5hH7tV/?igshid=ictiayuenko7
