667. BDSM as Therapy, Tantric Practices + Erotic Blueprints with Miss Jaiya

Archetypes

Archetypal work serves as a powerful method for reclaiming disowned aspects of oneself, contributing significantly to sexual empowerment. Miss Jaiya discusses how embodying different archetypes, such as the 'super slut' or 'priestess,' can help individuals integrate these qualities into their personalities. She shares her personal experience of using photography to reclaim her body image and overcome shame, emphasizing the transformative power of seeing oneself through a different lens 1.

I had one called puddles, and she was the reclamation of my slutty coming of age and the reclamation of delight. Because I didn't have delight in my sexuality at that time.

Lindsey Simcik adds that many women struggle with body image issues, and archetypal work can be a gateway to self-acceptance and reverence for one's body 1.

   

Pleasure

Pleasure is not just a source of joy but also a potent tool for healing and personal growth. Miss Jaiya explains that pleasure acts as a resource and fuel for manifestation, advocating for a life centered around enjoyment and play 2. She argues that healing can be more effective when it is pleasure-informed rather than trauma-informed.

Pleasure is how we heal, too. Yes. One person, you know, we talk about being trauma informed a lot in therapy, but also I think there's a lot of value in being pleasure informed.

Lindsey Simcik and Jaiya also discuss the journey to self-love, emphasizing that true self-love comes from knowing oneself deeply. They highlight various tools like breathwork, movement, and even psychedelic medicine as means to achieve this self-awareness and love 3.
