In this class, we will help people develop a greater awareness of harmful attitudes surrounding abuse within erotic hypnosis communities that silence survivors and perpetuate cycles of harm and abuse. We will discuss ways to address those issues while supporting and empowering survivors.
-Learn better ways to communicate safety practices to beginners in hypno kink to avoid spreading misinformation that can lead newbies into unsafe situations they are trying to avoid.
-Learn to rethink language used in discussions about safety and subject agency that perpetuate existing misconceptions, biases and stigmas relating to survivors and abuse in hypno kink. We will also discuss attitudes and language that minimizes, dismisses, and invalidates the abuse survivors have endured and how subject agency is sometimes used to blame victims.
Learn useful ways to support people in abusive dynamics that help empower them to leave and learn how to provide meaningful support after they have left. We will discuss the effect trauma responses can have on subject agency and a person's ability to assert boundaries or safeword within scenes.
-Learn how to create and improve spaces within erotic hypnosis communities where survivors feel supported and safe enough to reach out for help or to report their abuser to mods/community leaders. Learn how to recognize language and attitudes that shame, blame, and silence survivors or that perpetuate a culture of injustice
