Therapeutic BDSM

While BDSM used to be considered "pathological" and " lunatic" in academia of the past, in recent years discourses increasingly describes BDSM as healing, psychologically beneficial, transformative, and spiritually uplifting (Bauer, 2018 u. 2008; Carellas, 2009; Greenberg, 2019; Hammers, 2014; Klement et al., 2017; Lee et al., 2016; Lee, 2009; Lindemann, 2011; Thomas, 2019; Werder, 2017).

BDSM therapy is a holistic body experience and journey

• Working through relationship or childhood wounds
• Healing from experiences of shock or abuse
• Working with feelings of shame, fear, anger, or grief
• Degradation sessions (where your self-esteem is paradoxically rebuilt as you receive validation and acceptance for your fetish)
• Penance rituals can help you work through and release past mistakes and guilt
• Talking therapy and coaching: erection problems, orgasm disorders, self-hatred, porn addiction, lack of self-confidence, relationship problems, etc.

Trauma work intentionally recreates wounds from the past in order to heal them.

If you are ready for it, even "heavy issues" can be worked through playfully through BDSM: Rape, childhood violence, incest, self-hatred, self-harm, distorted body image, depression, and more.

Especially with childhood wounds and severe trauma, we will use techniques to help you deal with triggers and strong emotions. With me, you can always feel safe. By replaying your past experience in a framework created for healing, the possibility will arise to rewrite the story of the past. In this way, you can step into a new vision of your future.

It will be my great honor to use BDSM together as a tool for healing, self-awareness and transformation! I myself have completed a one-year training in Holistic Bodywork and Thai Massage, in which trauma work and psychological conversation work were relevant modules. I am also personally familiar with trauma and psychological problems and have experienced myself how it is to solve such issues with BDSM.

BDSM is a tool and all depends on how we use it. We can use it to numb and distract ourselves, or we can use it to get to explore and transform ourselves. For BDSM to be healing and therapeutic, "set and setting" are of great importance. Therefore you want to create a setting, in which external and internal factors (your attitude and mood, trust and communication with each other, time duration, location and social environment) have a positive effect on your experience and support you in your healing process.

In therapeutic sessions, we work with psychological conversation techniques in the pre- and post-talk. Together we will find a specific issue (physical, psychological or spiritual) for you, if you don't already have one in mind, and set an intention for that matter (e.g. "I want to find out what lies behind my self-hatred"). During the session (which may consist of verbal humiliation or re-enactment of a scene from the past for example), I would keep reminding you of your intention, allowing you to explore yourself deeper and deeper. Facing your own shadow sides and traumas in this way can be very healing and liberating.
