This week host Renae Johnson (they/them) and Open Space Therapy Collective therapist Kristen Crowe (they/she) explore how to understand your kink/BDSM desires and explore them in therapy. In this episode we discuss: I am in a BDSM relationship and I tried to talk about it once with my therapist, but they said it reflected a deeper self esteem problem. Is there something wrong with me? I have been interested in exploring BDSM but don’t know how to bring it up to my therapist. We haven’t talked about sexuality except “I’m dating so-and-so” and I don’t know if it’s appropriate to talk about actual sex. Will my therapist understand that I have a “play partner” outside my primary relationships, and we go to “play parties” and I don’t want to stop? Someone I’m dating is interested in exploring BDSM with me and I’m feeling a little nervous. If I’m nervous, what kind of support can I ask from my therapist? One thing I like about BDSM is that it feels dangerous, but I don’t want my therapist to think I’m practicing “risky behaviors” or tell me to stop. How do I ask for a safe space in general with my therapist? Join us as we dive into the tantalizing curiosities of these sexual experiences and find ways to explore with safe partners and find an sex-positive therapist.
