In this episode, we’re diving into the energetics of submission and exploring what it means to be a good submissive in BDSM. Together, we’ll challenge societal misconceptions about submission, revealing it as an act of trust, strength, and vulnerability—not weakness.

We’ll unpack the difference between conscious and unconscious submission, showing how submission can be a powerful form of shadow work. 

We’ll also talk about navigating Dom/sub dynamics through clear communication, self-awareness, and trust, while avoiding common pitfalls like codependency or shame spirals. Whether you’re sub-curious, a seasoned submissive, or just starting to explore BDSM dynamics, this episode is here to guide you toward conscious, empowered submission.

In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between trauma, shadow work, and sexuality through a trauma-informed and Jungian psychology approach. I answer the common question, 'Is shadow work safe for people who experienced trauma?” and explain why foundational work like emotional regulation and self-compassion is crucial. We’ll discuss how early life trauma and neurodivergence can complicate personal growth, why traditional talk therapy may only scratch the surface, and how archetypal defense mechanisms protect the vulnerable parts of the psyche. I also share personal stories, like my own dark night of the soul and a cautionary tale about rushing into shadow work unprepared. If you’re considering deeper spiritual and unconscious work, this episode offers essential insights, practical advice, and a roadmap to approach it safely.
