BDSM as a Healing Tool with Andrea Glik - Ep 119 - a podcast by Sunny Megatron & Ken Melvoin-Berg | Pleasure Podcasts
from 2020-02-17T13:00
On episode 119 of American Sex Podcast, we learn about using BDSM as a healing tool with Andrea Glik, LMSW. She explains the impact trauma has on our nervous system, how depression can be a survival response, the stress response cycle, and the difference between glimmers and triggers. We dive into how BDSM can be used to heal trauma and how she integrates BDSM into her therapy sessions. Discover how BDSM can be therapeutic for both submissives and dominants plus how healing can manifest through consensual nonconsent, little space, subspace, aftercare, and more. Even if you don’t consider yourself a BDSM practitioner, this episode will help you figure out how trauma and shame affect your sexual identity. This is also a highly recommended listen for mental health providers and those struggling to get their therapists to understand the importance of kink in their lives.
