Content Warning: Discussion of trauma, child abuse, BDSM and kink culture, pornography, and domestic violence
Part 2 of a two part episode. We noticed the sound quality of this episode isn't our best, so this is the disclaimer!
In this episode, Alayna and Mel are joined by a friend of the podcast who is an active member of the BDSM lifestyle. She discusses her personal journey learning and joining the BDSM community as a survivor of trauma. The discussion covers why/how BDSM can be heeling, why communication and consent is important, and how pop culture's portrayal is not an accurate depiction.
