Why do we do What It Is We Do (WIIWD)?
On one level, it’s just fun. But it’s more than that. We call it “the lifestyle” for a reason: BDSM is a way of life. What behaviors and habits can make BDSM not only a positive space/activity, but a catalyst for growth? Indeed – it can be a way towards Self-Improvement.
On December 8, at TRS Inc. Professional Suite, 40 Exchange Pl #3, I’ll be joining 4 other NYC BDSM leaders in a panel about how BDSM can be not only a good thing, but a life-changing thing — one that truly helps us grow as people, and grow closer with others.
The discussion will start with how we can attain and talk about personal growth goals, like these:
• Raising self-esteem & improving confidence
• Becoming a better decision-maker
• Managing stress better; not “bottling up” feelings
• Becoming a better / more empathetic listener
• Living life with purpose
We’ll discuss practical strategies for using kink to do these things, as a Dom, sub, or in a power-neutral play dynamic: you will leave this panel with tangible takeaways — techniques to use today, tomorrow, and in the coming years to enrich your life through the joy of kink. There will also be a social hour when you can meet others who want to play more deeply.
Does this event sound like fun, informative, and help you in your own efforts of self-improvement? If yes, I would love to hear what you hope to get out of it — we’ll do our best to give it to you!
