Topping From The Bottom: Understanding and Addressing the Control Mechanisms of submissives

Dom Sub Devotion - Un pódcast de Andrew & Dawn - Infinite Devotion - Lunes

In this episode of the Dom Sub Devotion podcast, we dive deep into the intricate dynamics of 'topping from the bottom' in a 24/7 DS marriage. We explore how this concept, where the submissive tries to control the Dominant using her submission as the means of control, aligns with the submissive’s use of voice and expression of feelings within a power exchange relationship. We discuss the challenges of balancing submission and the need to speak up, the importance of emotional safety, and the inner emotional journeys both the dominant and the submissive experience in pursuit of authentic submission, where she feels safe enough to let go and not feel the need to control. Join us as we unpack the transformative potential of overcoming control patterns and building deeper trust and love in a committed DS relationship. ~~~~~~~~ Get Dawn's Manifesto: The Self Respecting Submissive Woman.
