Douglas Thomas: What You Can Learn About Yourself From Your Sexual Fantasies
Manage episode 405774653 series 2808040
Have you allowed yourself to explore your sexual fantasies, or do they feel like dark territory that is off-limits? Have you explored them with your partner?
This week I talk to Jungian psychotherapist Dr Douglas Thomas about his new book, The Deep Psychology of BDSM and Kink. We cover:
- Why it’s so hard to talk about your fantasies with your partner.
- How Jungian archetypes can provide a language to better understand BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism) and kink.
- Whether BDSM can be a path to individuation and bringing soul into the world.
Dr Douglas Thomas is an author and a Jungian psychotherapist in private practice in California. He has presented workshops and talks throughout the state of California on LGBTQ issues and on dream therapy, his two areas of specialization. He teaches at the Pacifica Graduate Institute. Dr. Thomas holds a masters degree from the USC School of Social Work, and a PhD in Depth Psychology with an emphasis in psychotherapy from Pacifica Graduate Institute.
