After the Uncollaring: Surviving the End of a Power-Exchange Relationship - Part 1

Part 1 of 2:

Among the scene negotiations, establishing rules, protocols, and rituals, and discussions around collaring, one of the most important aspects of the committed power-exchange relationships is often neglected: the ending. In this interactive workshop, Heather M. Garner, LCSW-C tackles the less sexy D/s topic of recovering from the loss of a committed relationship. In part one of this two-part workshop, Heather will lead participants on a journey to encourage participants to reconsider many of the things they think they already know about grief. Participants will examine how grief and loss are addressed (nor not addressed) in broader American culture. Heather will provide an overview of the fundamentals of grief, including common responses to loss. The ethical considerations around ending a power-exchange relationship will be explored, such as how to handle it on social media.
