When The Going Gets Tough,
The Tough Stay:
Meeting the Challenges of a Master/slave Relationship
Without a doubt, a
long-term Master/slave relationship can be challenging
for both the Master and the slave. In a journey of
mutual trust, obedience and surrender, unseen and often
disliked parts of our inner-selves are bound to be
exposed. Such exposure is a necessary step toward the
healing, integration and wholeness that is the call of
such relationships, but it can be exceedingly stressful
and at times even frightening. If this dynamic is not
properly understood, there will be a tendency for the
Master or the slave to say “enough” and exit the
relationship.
Dialogue with slave Rick, a
licensed psychotherapist, as he shares some insights
culled from his spiritual studies, his professional
practice within the BDSM community and his 9+ year M/s
relationship into the self-defeating “cut and run”
syndrome that typically occurs when the going gets
tough. Discover what it means to truly stop in the
midst of whatever turmoil you may be experiencing in
your relationship and, instead of running, to allow the
consequential burning away of the ego to open a doorway
into a deeper awareness of your true Self. The
willingness to meet and face whatever appears in life
results in a profound sense of personal freedom and joy
that strengthens and deepens relationships of all
types…and it’s possible for you!
This is a special
three-hour workshop.
You must attend part one to be
allowed in to see part two.
