#64 An Abolitionist's Guide to Trauma, Non-Monogamy, BDSM & Shame with Clementine Morrigan

Anya Kaats

Sep 20, 2020

Clementine Morrigan is the author of several books and zines, and the creator and facilitator of the popular workshop Trauma Informed Polyamory. Clementine and I discuss many of my favorite topics including non-monogamy, abolitionism, shame, how we often miscategorize shitty relationships as abusive relationships, the complex physical & emotional discernment needed to assess true safety and security, how fawn dynamics can intersect with BDSM & sexual submissiveness and our culture's oversimplified understanding of consent.

Clementine's Book Recommendations: I Hope We Choose Love by Kai Cheng Thom and Various Sci-Fi books by Ursula La Guin

Songs featured: "Sex-o-Matic Venus Freak" by Macy Gray and "Never Enough" by Eminem, 50 Cent & Nate Dogg
