<p>Attachments are emotional bonds formed in childhood based on the behavior of our caregivers. Whether we form secure or insecure attachments is dependent upon how our needs for attention, love, and growth are met in our earliest formative relationships.

Are BDSM attachments generally more or less secure than &ldquo;vanilla&rdquo; relationships? Do styles differ between Dominants, submissives, and switches? How do gender roles and multiple partners play a part? The class will also touch on how to encourage secure attachment in ourselves and in our relationships with others.</p> <p>Content advisory: topic includes references to abuse and trauma.</p> <p><strong>Presented by: Sir Panda</strong></p>

This presentation will examine the basics of Attachment Theory, how attachment styles are expressed in adulthood, and how they are manifested in different BDSM identities. Are BDSM attachments generally more or less secure than “vanilla” relationships? Do styles differ between Dominants, submissives, and switches? How do gender roles and multiple partners play a part? The class will also touch on how to encourage secure attachment in ourselves and in our relationships with others.
