Today we’re exploring power dynamics: in particular, dominance and submission. We’re going beyond power dynamics in a sex scene, and exploring it as a model of relationship, an actual lifestyle.   I’ve invited a special guest onto the show today to share her personal experience with living in a DS relationship: the good, the bad and the ugly. Now, for the purpose of sharing as openly and honestly as possible, she has chosen to remain anonymous. As you’ll hear, being in a DS relationship can be incredibly isolating, especially when things go wrong. You’ll hear us talk about: Setting up and signing contracts Pain vs punishment Liberating sexual repression Mental illness and substance abuse Narcissism and egoic dominance Self-awareness and self-inquiry Understanding your childhood traumas/wounds and the disowned aspects of self Journaling prompts to access your truth Drawing the line and setting boundaries And so much more! Enjoy!
