Let's Talk About Kink

Kink is a general term for activities or practices outside the "norm." Kink is often misunderstood and many negative assumptions are made about Kink. It is often labeled as gross, dirty, taboo, deviant, or shameful. 


Dr. Richard Sprott, a researcher in personal development, defines it, "Kink is used as an umbrella term to address a wide range of esoteric erotic interests, behaviors, practices, relationships, and identities."


Kink is typically associated with sex although, not all kinky behavior is sexual. Discussion about kink is important and should be part of therapy if it is a part of how the individual engages and connects with others.

What Kink Therapy Can Look Like

Identifying and working through factors that impact an individual's ability to connect with someone or within their own needs is crucial to a better experience.


It may include exploring current concepts of kink and intimacy, education on anatomy, the acts of kink, and communication styles along with experimentation options. 


Talking about kink feels awkward and strange for most people. Clients can feel anxious and embarrassed about the topic and hesitate to bring up concerns. As a therapist, I do my best to make it as comfortable as possible. There is no pressure or judgment at any time.

Experimentation Options?

It can be difficult to find a therapist familiar with kink. As a Kinkster and sex-positive therapist, my work with individuals and relationship dynamics often includes discussing BDSM or Fetishes.


Whether the client is an expert with many years of experience, a novice, or never having considered it before, the pace of exploration and processing is determined by the client, not the therapist. 


Sessions are designed to offer a safe place to process the exchanges and desired goals of the individual and/or relationships. Some common topics discussed in the session include:

 

  • Power dynamics
  • Alternative lifestyles
  • Misunderstandings related to consent or hard limits
  • Differences in pleasure or pain
  • Misconceptions about role dynamics 
  • Exploring which role dynamic works best
  • Insecurities
  • What are the different types of play
  • Contracts or agreements


Do You Ever Find Yourself Wondering:

  • "Am I the only person who has these desires?"
  • "Am I sick for desiring what I do?"
  • "Is this dynamic healthy?"
  • "What if I can’t do what they want?"
  • "How do we build trust?"
  • "How do I talk about intimacy issues with my partner?”
  • "What is the dynamic supposed to feel like?"
  • "How do I tell my partner what I need?"
  • "Why can't I share my true desire?"
  • "What if I don't know what I want?"

Have You Experienced Any of the Following:

  • Guilt or shame about your fantasies or desires
  • Regular conflict and tension with your play partner
  • Don't feel heard or understood
  • Avoiding intimacy
  • Fearing something is wrong with you
  • Lack of trust and feelings of being taken advantage of
  • A sense you are on the verge of going too far
  • Problems with your partner and need a safe place to address these concerns
  • The devastation of betrayal
