Maria, this BDSM stuff, done properly, should be fairly introspective . . . . & for those who like to go deep, this has the potential to allow as much growth & learning-about-self & etc as therapy. & that growth is (& / or should be) full of pain, struggle, discomfort, anxiety, fear, regression, & so on & so forth, as growth is far more complicated than some simple always-good . . . .. In my experience much of personal growth is some variant on a two-steps-forward-one-step-back kinda model . . . . . . . Plunging into our depths carries risk that we may unearth stuff that our psyches buried safely away from us, to protect us at some past point. (Particularly during early childhood, but we humans have tremendous powers in that direction at all ages . . . . ) That same icky subconsciously held stuff may be the source of current 'emotional abscesses' that are in need of draining & healing, so the overall process may be both healthy & painful . . . . .
