EDU presents: When a Kink is Not a Kink

Join Still_Wycked for a candid discussion about self destructive behaviors as he takes you through his own personal battle with pain addiction: how things started, how he began trading emotional pain for physical pain, hiding in the community, violating consent, and hitting rock bottom. He will also detail the program he used to retrain his mind that has kept him sober for 16 years.

Followed by an interactive discussion about identifying self destructive behavior within ourselves and play partners.
