A Kink in the Cure The practice of Therapeutic Kink is an exploration into the healing of sexual shame and trauma through the practice of kink and BDSM.

A Kink the Cure was designed to explore the fascinating, and still hidden, stories of abuse survivors who identify as “kinky.” The piece provides a frank look at some uncomfortable truths about sexual abuse and violence in our culture. Like a kinky Vagina Monologues, focusing on the survivors’ experiences, we address the ways in which “kink” has acted as both a barrier and a benefit to those attempting to address the lingering shame and trauma resulting from their abuse. The live performance, as well as the written work, includes stories from people who have a history of sexual abuse and trauma. Each of these individuals found that the practice of BDSM has had effect on their healing process.

Kinky S*x Can Heal Shame & Trauma

In 2009 Tim Murray began a study at Goddard College to research the effects of B**M on those with a history of sexual shame or trauma. He was inspired by efforts like Story Corps, The Va**na Monologues, and Pouring Tea. Inspired by the ways in which people sharing their experiences, allowed others to find freedom and feel seen. He followed their example and began asking people to share their experiences with kink and trauma.

He wanted to know how people got through the darkness in their past and found the strength and power to heal and grow. The stories here are the combined testimony of dozens of people who shared their journeys through the darkness and the light of their experiences, so that we can be here today.
