Decolonizing Nervous Systems: Neurodivergence, Trauma, and Power Exchange for QTBIPOC Brains

Western kink education tends to treat the nervous system as universal — but bodies shaped by colonization, racism, queerness, neurodivergence, trauma, and spiritual inheritance regulate very differently.
This workshop reframes kink and power exchange through a decolonized nervous system lens, centering QTBIPOC and neurodivergent players whose brains don’t fit white-normed models of communication, consent, or control.
Participants will explore how masking, fawning, RSD, rejection trauma, executive dysfunction, prophetic intuition, sensory needs, and cultural survival strategies uniquely shape dominance, submission, attachment, arousal, repair, vulnerability, and play.
