No, you are the one saying people should get into a group for recovery because bdsm causes panic attacks. Nobody is forcing you to do this. In fact, it's the opposite. We are very big on consent here. If you don't feel this is healthy for you, then nobody is going to want to engage in it with you. As long as you are honest about it. It is, however, apparent to me that the actions involved did not cause the panic attacks. It is your own conflicts about your sexuality plus your difficulty separating what you were taught to think from how you actually feel that causes this. If I rub The Man's feet because he tells me to, there is nothing in that activity to cause a panic attack. Any more than on the mornings my son wakes up with his neck kinked and he needs me to rub it to get rid of the headache. If he notices my foot is acting up and orders me to sit at the far end of the couch and let him rub my foot, I don't have a panic attack either. If you enjoy eating spicy food, then there's nothing unhealthy in that as long as you don't cause your mouth to be filled with blisters. If however, you are compelled to eat Scotch Bonnets until your mouth is blistered, the problem isn't the peppers or the blisters. The problem is why do you feel compelled to engage in something that unhealthy. The answer would be very different from someone who suffers from Sensory Integration Disorder then in someone who was forced to eat them as a form of abuse when young. And therefore a group focused on why you do that wouldn't help because it wouldn't get to the root cause in either case. You have major conflicts. You need to focus on finding out why you have them and how to integrate your feelings so as not to be torn. A group of people applauding you for not doing this wouldn't help. Go get therapy. And I'm done arguing.
