The Spank Therapist* is IN!
What is this Spank Therapy* thing anyway?
Miss Chris talks Spank Therapy on The Doctors
Spank Therapy* refers to the relief bottoms get from spanking due in good part, to the physiological happenings in the body as it responses to stress and pain. In particular, Miss Chris' unique Spank Therapy* sessions are designed to reduce stress in our lives, give us a sense of reward and connection, and even help modulate the very pain we are creating. And although the process by which this happens looks like a bell curve, and is repeatable on virtually every body, everyone's formula is just a little bit different, there's no one-size-fits-all approach here.
During stress relief spankings, MC utilizes the body's natural, evolutionary way of responding to increased stress (in the form of discomfort or pain). Utilizing the same natural chemicals that our Neanderthal ancestors relied on for fighting and fleeing, it's possible to trigger similar chemicals that helped the survivors, survive.
In her Science BEHIND Spanking class, she goes into all the ways our bodies compensate for the pain we are (or are not feeling). You can see my design below of all the chemicals that could release during a spanking. Through Spank Therapy* techniques, MC's aim is to bring out the most chemicals, in the least painful way possible. Subspace, is often a goal!
In a nutshell, here's what we know versus what we don't know about the science of spanking:
What is Established
-
Pain is modifiable
-
Context influences pain
-
Stress and pain interact
-
The nervous system has endogenous pain-modulation systems
What the Research suggests
-
Consensual BDSM can produce measurable physiological changes
-
Positive scene experiences may be associated with changes in cortisol and relationship closeness
-
Individual responses vary
What is not established
-
Spanking is a medical treatment
-
Spanking treats specific diseases or disorders
-
A particular hormone explains the experience
-
"Spank Therapy" is an evidence-based clinical modality
So, Spank Therapy* while certainly "effective" for spankos, isn't a recognized modality of therapy. I cannot charge your insurance (yes, I've gotten that question). It is never to be used in place of actual, real therapy. This is a lighthearted take on stress and pain.
* IMPORTANT NOTE: Miss Chris is not a licensed, certified or degreed therapist, and what she provides is not actual therapy from a medical doctor. While spanking is therapeutic, it can never take the place of actual therapy, counseling, or medical doctor office visits. This is only to be used as an adjunct to care under a doctors supervision.
