D/s and SM both have great power to improve peoples lives; I intend to increase the utilization and application of D/s and SM for personal development. Therapy, life counseling, couples counseling, support structures, and healthy advice should be obviously and abundantly available for BDSM practitioners. In 2013, I was excited that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) would de-pathologize BDSM. Since DSM-5, kink-friendly and kink-aware psychological services have helped reduce the stigma of BDSM; I aspire to accelerate that process as a natural side effect of my forthcoming ventures.
I am researching and developing services to harness BDSM for mental health. While human potential and psychology are passions of mine and I personally provide life coaching, my skills in systems and resource management are best used creating architecture rather than by personally providing therapeutic services.
I wish to collaborate with people, particularly professionals and potential clients, that find therapeutic value in BDSM. If you are any of the following, please contact me, as I want your knowledge, suggestions, and networking:
- Kink-friendly and kink-aware therapists, life coaches, personal trainers, and their clients
- Professional Dominants, particularly those that go beyond play to provide life coaching or have some 24/7 component to their service
- Recovery in the Lifestyle organizers and participants, as well as their partners
- BDSM intensive and conference program (weekend, weeklong and longer preferred) directors, staff and frequent participants
- D/s and M/s practitioners who engage with the intent of improving each other’s mental health
- BDSM practitioners that retail professional services by others
- Surveillance fetishists, if as a means to practically and tangibly improve the life of those watched
- Anyone else who knows what the Dunning-Kruger effect is and still believes they may help
If you are any of the above, please contact me.
