Lux as a multi-faceted therapist. Besides being a Pro Domme I also work as a therapist, my practice spans across a broad array experience. I specialize in trauma therapy and also religious trauma therapy (especially for ex Jehovah’s Witnesses as I was once one of them), grief counseling (where I also apply what I learned from self-experience after losing my son, I coach individuals to cope with chronic illness and pain and I also coach people with gender exploration and transition. My diverse expertise allows me to provide a comprehensive approach to mental health, catering to a vast range of personal challenges and journeys. This year I will also go for an extra degree.
However, my practice also extends beyond the traditional therapeutic setting. I also facilitate kink exploration sessions where individuals and couples can talk freely about their interests and desires regarding BDSM.
I, as you all know I also work as a professional Dominatrix. This unconventional pairing of therapy and BDSM might surprise some, but the integration of these two fields has profound psychological implications that are worth exploring.
BDSM, an umbrella term for a various array of practices, is often misunderstood and stigmatized. However, as a Domme, I employ my knowledge in psychology to ensure a safe, consensual, and healing experience for my clients.
There is a significant overlap between therapy and the role of a Pro Domme. In both settings, trust and empathy are key, and the exchange of power that happens can be healing, empowering, and transformative. Many individuals seeking services within the BDSM community are also navigating their own journeys or identity exploration, and they often find solace in the freeing experiences BDSM can provide.
In my work, I see first-hand how therapeutic the exploration of kink can be. BDSM requires open communication, negotiation, and explicit consent, thereby teaching crucial skills in setting boundaries and expressing desires. Moreover, the exploration of roles within BDSM, such as dominance and submission, can offer an avenue for individuals to explore their identities, challenge societal norms, and even work through past traumas in a controlled, safe environment.
A dominant figure within BDSM, like a Pro Domme has a great responsibility to their submissive clients. The ‘dominant’ role isn’t just about exercising control but also about nurturing, guiding, and maintaining a safe space for their ‘submissive’. In this way, a Pro Domme can act as a sort of mentor or coach, guiding their clients as they navigate their experiences within the BDSM community.
In my dual role as a therapist and a Pro Domme, I draw on my deep understanding of human psychology to help individuals on their journey. I recognize that each person’s experiences and challenges are unique, and I approach each session with respect, understanding, and a commitment to my client’s wellbeing. Whether within the confines of a therapy session or in the more unconventional setting of a BDSM session, my ultimate aim remains the same: to foster understanding, promote healing, and guide individuals on their journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.
In the end, therapy, kink, trauma, grief, gender exploration, all these facets of human experience are interconnected. They contribute to the complex tapestry of who we are. By embracing this integrative approach to therapeutic coaching, I offer a safe space for individuals to explore and understand these aspects of their identities, ultimately empowering them to become more fulfilled, authentic versions of themselves.
