Counseling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples.
Fetish Therapy
"Cinderella is basically all about The Prince and his foot fetish." ~ Mr. M
Is it a fetish?
Maybe? Let's start with what a Fetish is. A Fetish falls under the umbrella of kink and is defined as an arousal response to an object or body part not typically associated with sex.
In a lot of cases, an issue arises when the fetish becomes a required part of achieving arousal and complete satisfaction.
For example, a common type of fetish is the foot fetish. An individual is aroused by feet or a specific part of the foot and/or things associated with feet, such as shoes.
Why Therapy?
Fetishes are considered problematic when the fetish is required to achieve the goal, consent is being violated in order to indulge or there is an extreme level of risk or harm to the self or to others.
Common issues addressed in therapy:
- Shame over personal desires.
- Broken trust for violating boundaries.
- Differences between partner's views of risk and harm.
- Inability to have a sexual relationship or any form of intimacy.
- Difficulty discussing or introducing a fetish to their partner.
- A need to explore why it is a fetish.
- Trauma that is related to the fetish.
