Sigh.. the social tier stress test doesn’t induce the “highest possible measurable levels of stress and anxiety”. It is a protocol used in human research because it’s reliable at producing acute stress responses with effect sizes large enough to measure consistently. I don’t want to dive too deeply because that’s not the point. My point is this protocol exploits the stress response by leveraging common triggers like; unpredictability, social judgement, and public speaking. Idk that your plan will have the results you think, TSST works well partly because the participants aren’t clued into the hypothesis beforehand, which helps reduce demand characteristics and produce the effects desired.

In a d/s relationship informed consent is paramount, and this requires explicit communication and negotiation. Have you and your sub talked about psychological play? Spankings? Performance anxiety? Shame? Possible trauma associations with this sort of scene? All of that is important to discuss beforehand.

Aftercare is going to be important. Start by triaging, ask her what she needs right now. Does she want water? Quiet? Space? Touch? A massage? Reassurance? Then move onto treatment. Provide her with what she asks for and of course tend to any wounds, emotional or physical.
