Do you know what a yes or a no feels like in your body? When you do, how liberated is your throat around your truth? Can you speak it? How do you respond when someone has a tornado in the face of your truth? How anchored can you remain?</li><li>Let your fantasy inform your reality by allowing your imagination to be present in it.</li><li>Fill out feedback sheets after scenes.</li><li>Negotiate aftercare and integration before a scene.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>IDEAS:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Pearls of beauty are often found in the depths of darkness. There is grace and beauty in places that feel scary.</li><li>If we wholeheartedly believe something doesn’t exist, we won’t look for it.</li><li>Night vision is needed when looking into dark depths; you have to see beneath the surface.</li><li>When you meet in a place of darkness where society’s rules can’t hold, you drop deeper and the heart can crack open.</li><li>Healing is becoming more okay with who you naturally are.</li><li>Everyone carries desires related to BDSM; we often don’t give ourselves permission to find something hot.</li><li>A strong goal orientation can become oppressive.</li><li>You don’t need to figure out exactly what you’re healing—don’t turn healing into recess homework.</li><li>You have to trust that your desire will reveal its fruit to you.</li><li>We live in a society full of ideas about what sex should look like.</li><li>Therapy often tries to move you away from recreating traumatic experiences, away from what hurt you. But what if part of healing is going into it differently?</li><li>We will hurt each other without meaning to; restorative repair is essential.</li><li>There are often gendered stereotypes within “conscious sexuality” communities.</li><li>This is healing work. If we can deepen intimacy when we’re naked, we can deepen intimacy when we’re clothed.</li></ul><p><br></p>","author_name":"Ez Bridgman"}
