I do understand that my girl may react more strongly to my displeasure than I might wish. Should that occur, as it occasionally has, I let her know she's over-reacting but I do expect her to acknowledge the over-reaction and make the necessary internal adjustments. Some folks, submissive or otherwise, can have a disproportionate emotional reaction to failure, real or perceived. Taking responsibility for "getting a grip" on an inappropriate response is part and parcel of being an emotionally healthy adult. Personally, I have no interest in consorting with someone who lacks such a fundamental ability.
On the side topic of withdrawing from one's submissive: I find it completely appropriate to walk away or withdraw myself from a submissive who is exhibiting bad behavior. There are any number of scenerios that come to mind in which such a withdrawal would be appropriate. Generally speaking, they tend to center around submissives who misbehave in misguided attempts to get attention.
Having said that, I completely concur with IrishMist. Two mature adults should be able to work together toward shared goals without the threat of punishment. I will concede that there may well be many for whom crimes and punishments are an integral part of the kinky fun.
