About The Event

Andrew Pari, LCSW, Diplomate, is the nation’s leading authority on the neuro-biological arousal mechanism in sexualized violence (ARSA). Founder and Director of Sexual Assault Awareness, LLC, he is a psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience treating survivors, including specialized populations in the sex industries and victims of trafficking.  

In “Kink-claiming the Trauma: From Sexual Assault to Sexual Empowerment,” Andrew Pari presents his groundbreaking and controversial application of the trauma recovery model that utilizes BDSM as a potential facilitator in the process of healing. Distinguishing between trauma and kink expression, he offers new understandings of how some trauma survivors master trauma through repetition.”

We can’t wait to continue our learning as kink - affirming and knowledgeable psychologists! Yay for training!
