Childhood Trauma

A Canadian-based NGO has found creative ways to counter childhood trauma.
Yin Q. confronted their childhood trauma through kink and BDSM. Now Q. helps others heal from their past experiences as well. Without pathologizing trauma, Q. believes that for many, kink can be a healing experience, regardless of identity.
