by Rachel Leedom (Author)
An introductory book on the philosophy of conscious masochism. For those who identify with the term "masochist" to one extent, the shame, confusion, and lack of self-trust we battle can be crippling.
Finding our way through our masochistic desires while maintaining a loving, compassionate relationship with ourselves can feel like we're eternally treading stormy waters. Is it even possible to integrate this perceived "darkness" into our nature in a healthy, harmonious way?
If you're wondering how to define a new perspective on your mental health that doesn't shame you into thinking you're broken or wired wrong, hopefully, this book offers you some comfort and validation.
May the perspectives and tools in this book gently guide you within to sift and sort through which parts of your masochistic nature feel true for you and which do not.
I believe some of us were born with a fondness for masochism for a reason, and that if handled with self-awareness, compassion, and safety, it can be a powerful asset in our lives, not a hindrance.
Befriending my inner masochist and tapping into her strength, softness, and courage has been life-changing. I invite you to approach this book with an open mind and heart, as well as a willingness to confront any discomfort that may be triggered.
