Exploring Therapeutic Kink as a Practice
This event has passed.
"Kink is not therapy, but it can be therapeutic."
My guess is that you've heard this phrase more than once if you've spent any time in the kink community. But what separates Play that is therapeutic, from that which is just fun? How do we structure the emerging practice of Therapeutic Kink so that it can be understood by the professional therapeutic community? Examining the work that underlies A Kink in the Cure, and the recent presentation at the AASECT National Conference, Tim Murray will share the ways he currently uses Therapeutic Kink with clients, and the framework used to differentiate between Play and Practice.
All sexes, genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, relationship orientations, religions are welcome and celebrated.
