Inner Critic Kink Work

Many of us have strong inner critics. When our inner critics are active, it is often like an abuse scene—but one that is contained inside where others cannot see. Usually we are locked in a battle to suppress the inner critic—which rarely works, and may only make it stronger.

The medicine of Inner Critic Kink is to externalize the inner abuse scene by first revealing: “What does your critic sounds like?” and having that reflected back to you. By witnessing externally what usually goes unwitnessed, this can help amplify (rather than suppress) the energy of the inner critic. You get to see the impact of this internal abuse on your body, and allow for new responses from the body.

Kink is an amplifying force, helping “turn up the volume” on our shadow parts. In a safe container, turning toward the shadow can aid in integration. I will reflect your inner critic to you and engage in physical and verbal flogging. This is an impact play space involving floggers and impact toys. This is not a sexual space—it’s a power space. By confronting your inner critic you generate new possibilities for liberation in your daily life.
