Diana Von Rigg
“Kink is inherently somatic: it involves touch, breath, voice, eye contact, movement, power, and ritual. All of these elements interface directly with the nervous system. They can soothe it, or trigger it.”
Diana Von Rigg, Dom(me) the Darkness Within: Ritual Shadow Work for the Neurodivergent & Kink-Aligned
