SF/ONLINE: Dealing with Drop

*This class will be offered both in person at Trellis in San Francisco, and simultaneously as a live, online class offered through Zoom. Please select SF or online tickets when purchasing.*

Sub drop. Top drop. "A case of the Mondays." 

Whatever we call it, post-scene drop is frustrating, irritating, and isolating. It often makes us question -- at least in the moment -- what was otherwise an awesome scene. 

What is this awful mood we fall into after a scene, and what the heck can we do about it? 

In this class, Miriam Green will draw on what we know about the neuropsychology of BDSM to help us better understand drop, and build strategies for resilience when we face it. We'll talk about: 

- Common misconceptions about drop 

- What's really going on in the mind, brain and body 

- Mind-body strategies for before, during and after the scene to help us bounce back 

- How to change our narrative to avoid making drop worse 

- The best ways to effectively communicate after a scene -- for good scenes and bad 

You'll come away with better self-understanding and a self-care toolkit to draw on when drop comes calling. Join us!

We offer a sliding scale, so that cost is not a barrier to attendance.

The regular ticket is $25. This is what most people should pay.

The $15 ticket is offered for those for whom the $25 ticket would be a barrier to participation. If $25 is too much, we take your word for it! Just pay $15.

Have a great salary? Feeling generous? Paying at the $35 level allows us to make the discounted ticketing available to others who need it.

So - that's it! Choose the level you can comfortably afford.
