Can BDSM be a path to healing deep emotional wounds? 

We sit down once again with Jayden Aubrey, a Black queer, non-binary trauma therapist, to explore the profound connection between BDSM and trauma recovery. Jayden shares how the dynamics of dominance, submission, and consensual power exchange can help individuals reclaim their sense of control and heal from past emotional wounds, particularly in cases of sexual trauma. They explain the therapeutic parallels between BDSM and other methods like drama therapy and EMDR, focusing on how reenactment in a controlled setting can release stored trauma. They also talk about essential topics such as the role of consent, negotiation, and aftercare in creating safe spaces for emotional healing and self-exploration. 

Whether you dissociate during intimacy or are simply curious about the healing power of BDSM, Jayden sheds light on how these practices can foster deeper self-awareness and help rewrite your narrative.

In today’s episode, I’m dedicating this time to my dad as we mark the second anniversary of his passing. This day brings up so many feelings—some days are really hard, and others feel almost normal. It’s a reminder of how love and loss can shape us in ways we often don’t see.

I didn’t realize how much I was still hurting and how my feelings of anger and abandonment were tied to losing him. It’s been a journey to understand these emotions, especially as unexpected moments can bring them flooding back. I talk about how important it is to feel our feelings instead of pushing them away, even when it’s uncomfortable.
