People-Pleasing Masters and Doormat Slaves: Codependency in M/s
Sunday June 29, 2025 11:00am - 12:30pm CDT

No matter your role or identity, it can be easy to hide these inner experiences behind protocol, rules and ritual. Pop psychology can make it difficult to talk about complex trauma response systems. Reflecting on the experiences as both a Master and as a recovering codependent, this class will explore the behavior of C-PTSD through the lens of codependency to understand how it affects our behavior, sense of self and our dynamics.

• Explore the traits common to people who suffer codependency
• Provide strategies for managing codependency in power dynamics
