My dominance cannot heal your abandonment wounds 💚💚
I’m not going to reassure you that I won’t drop you. Not all the time at least.
Of course there are always exceptions to that rule, bad days and arguments will still be a thing; but in general, I try to avoid forming a pattern.
It’s a boundary for me, not because I’m heartless or because I actually would, but because I need to be trusted in my decisions.
I’m a frighteningly blunt, university educated woman with over a decade being an adult. I’ve had time to work out what I want, and if I’ve decided on you, it’s because I see something in you I like.
The door is not locked, so if I’m here, it’s because I want to be. Of course, I know I’m signing up for that anxiety and I’m prepared for it, but that does not mean I’m willing to enable the pattern.
Because it is enabling.
In my experience of anxiety and self esteem issues, I will never be able to reassure you enough that I’m not leaving. If a pattern starts to appear where you’re coming to me consistently for reassurance without being able to settle yourself, that tells me I need to support you into professional care.
It tells me I’m becoming a backstop where emotional management and distress tolerance are being replaced with immediate comfort and fresh promises. Neither are helpful to your overall health or the health of our relationship.
As a Domme, I’m not the one to heal your abandonment wounds. That responsibility lays squarely with a therapist. I can support you to find that care, but I will not myself become it.
If you’re my submissive, I respect you well enough to not pretend I can counteract everyone who has ever abandoned you. You deserve the support to heal those parts of yourself.
The feeling rising in your chest that you’re a bad person, or that these words are rejection in themselves? That feeling needs a comfortable couch and a kindly person with an hourly rate.
And when that session is done, we’ll go get ice cream and enjoy being together. That is how I support you as your Domme.
All I can do is show you the water under the bridge, it’s up to you to look up river.
