There is no straight line to this exploration . A girl on the popular social media site Fetlife read some of my articles and said
“ I like them , but they were a little wavy getting to the point.”
The most direct route of no explanation is the road of Muggles. I dislike the modern concept of Christianity, yet the phrase “ seek first the kingdom of god” holds weight here. Seeking is an important concept in spirituality and magic. The term occult means hidden. In today’s age of instant gratification, Googling loses sight of the journey being more important than the destination. Everyone can gain different things from a journey. Not everyone's issues look the same, just as not everyone's solutions look the same. The one thing everyone on this particular journey is going to need is an open mind. Chances are you have that if you are willing to think out of the box enough to click on this article..
There are fundamental concepts here that might challenge your current way of thinking.. If you are someone rooking for a way to supplement you current program of self care, just ask yourself
“How is that currently working for you?”
If your answer is in the range of it is not, it could be better or I feel I need something more, Then this is something new to try. Perhaps BDSM itself is not new to you and you just need to approach it from a different perspective that better suits your needs or breaks stagnation.
Looking at our Facebook interactions, it is clear some people might have varied reasons for joining us. Perhaps you are curious but skeptical. This entire concept of using BDSM as a source of therapy seems intriguing but entirely implausible. With even something the average person casts serious doubt on such as aliens, I ask them , but what if they did exist. There are many things mankind at one time did not believe in or think possible that are now working parts of our everyday life. These range from the concept of quantum physics to the smartphone you might be holding in your hand and reading these words right now. As late as the 1970s that technology was something that would have been considered science fiction not science fact. As we have made great strides in mental health, just watching the show “Mindhunter” reminds us that at one time there was not even a term for serial killers. The FBI did not see the importance of understanding abnormal psychology. If you were holding a book about BDSM you were likely in an underground porn shop and it was nothing more than surface level erotica.
The times have changed. Perhaps your perspective is going to change as well . In some ways we are going to this blind and opening the door for further studies to come. There is no PHD program specific to BDSM. In fact this was part of my doctorate in Sex & Gender studies which is as close as we could come,. Doctors of varied schools of medicine have been consulted on both the presentation and the subject matter. Much like key pieces of 12 step literature came from other alcoholics who had recovered, seeing how they could relate to the problem. I know for a fact there are a couple doctors who suffer from mental illness and trauma as well as engage in BDSM. They have been interested in this concept, but being people of science, the concepts of metaphysical; energy perhaps coming into play during this process or how it might possibly spiritually ignite the change is where they find themselves beyond their comfort zone. We might get beyond yours as well.
