The ICD10 code is used to classify mental disorders, where as all things BDSM was once classified as a "mental disorder" its not viewed that way anymore.... the world of psychiatry has been somewhat enlightened

officially yes,

in theory yes,

in practice no, at least in my personal experience.

Seems to me that's what counselling and therapy are about - what people are, not what they ought to be, supporting and accepting rather than judging.

I agree. That's how I do it

Unfortunately counselling is one of those things that many people differ in their approach. Some still go for psychoanalysis which is all about your childhood, however it now has changed into a sort of ''mindfullness' approach and being aware of who you are.

There is also those who go down the Cognitive route in which you are mainly going to find things like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and there are loads in between. Its like finding a GP you have to find the one that is right for you

I feel its fortunate that there are a wide variety of approaches available because that increases the chances of finding someone whose skills and approach will meet your needs if you seek help. It does mean that would be clients need to do some research before deciding on a therapist or counsellor. Many counsellors work eclectically which means they are skilled in a variety of approaches and can match their approach to the clients needs.

I am a trained, qualified, practising counsellor and have no issues about a persons fetish. It is their decision how to live their life and of the fetish orientated clients I have worked with none have shocked or surprised me. Acceptance is the keyword and a good counsellor will display this. If you are looking for a counsellor the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy can help you. All calls are confidential and they are most helpful.

Cock and ball torture is part of the counselling process?

Gawd DAYAM!

I gots problems.

I gots MAJOR problems!!!

I could be wrong but I think she meant Cognitive Behavior Therapy!

But then again, a swift, hard kick in the nuts does tend to make you forget all your other problems!!!

councelling

please, no i spy. ive had councelling concerning my fetish for knickers, has anyone else had councelling concerning their particular fetish and why, its a genuine question, and not wank fodder as most assume.

I like womens knickers, they turn me on. Most men are like this.

The fact that you are seeking councelling is a self-fullfilling prophecy in that the fact that it seems you feel there might be something wrong with it is focusing your energy in the wrong direction and you will end up at logger heads trying to work something out which isnt there.

Be at one with the knickers,

not into cbt, its definately councelling i seek, i love knickers, sniffing them,eating them, wearing them, also i go out of my way to look up skirts, and to me that needs addressing, as i think its a lack of respect for women

Oh erm, didnt see that bit. I think perhaps you need councelling in how to communicate with women? The knicker thing I think is irrelavant to the root of the problem, it is just symptomatic in my opinion.

I've had counselling for a number of reasons and I have found it a valuable resource. More recently I have had hypnotherapy and that was just brilliant. I think, in general, counsellors can be hit and miss. You have to find one you can get on with and that ticks the right boxes for you. There are so many different kinds of counselling out there. Do some research and find the right kind of professional.
