What can kink teach us about community, energy work, and trauma? In this erotic biography episode, somatic psychotherapist Elmo Painter talks about her history as a professional dominatrix, and how working with the body and energy then directly informs her therapeutic practice today. Karen shares about her own energy work in sound healing and her background in Tantra.
