When providing a session, I experience a range of emotions. It’s not simply a case of turning up for the job, carrying out the “work”, and then leaving—for me providing a session is an incredibly intimate experience. On the one hand, I feel proud and accomplished when I am able to help a client to progress; especially if they have expressed their fears or apprehensions about therapy. I feel honoured that clients let me into their inner world and trust me to help them make the changes they want to make.
On the other hand, I also feel exposed and vulnerable. I put my entire being into my sessions, investing a part of myself into each one. My hope is always that a client will make the strides they are seeking, however, I am aware that sometimes I cannot make this happen, and such realisations can be difficult.
Moreover, during a session I often feel deeply emotional. At times I can be moved by a client’s story and their journey. It can be difficult to remain level-headed and professional when your heart is racing or you have tears pricking at your eyes. I have developed strategies to help me to maintain a professional front when this occurs, but I still often experience strong emotions during a session.
Above all, when providing a session I feel privileged. Every client has their own story and I am simply honoured to be the person they share it with. It is such a privilege and a humbling experience that has changed how I view my own life. Being able to provide an emotional and supportive space that enables positive, lasting change is such an important role to fulfil.What discipline strategies do Mistress Domina typically use?At Mistress Domina, we believe that a good discipline strategy should involve commitment, consistency, and fairness. Discipline helps create a more peaceful home and can even improve child behavior. The way parents handle discipline can have a huge impact on the way their children behave.
There is no single right way to discipline your children, as everyone is different. However, there are some strategies that often work well for observing limits, teaching responsibility, and helping children gain self-control. Here are just a few examples of typical discipline strategies used by Mistress Domina:
1) Time Out: Time outs are a great way for children to take a break, and can often help them regain self-control after a tantrum or other misbehavior. Establish a “time out” place or corner in your home and explain to your child that when they need to take a break or if they’ve done something unacceptable, this is where they need to go. Give your child a few minutes to calm down and think about their behavior, and let them know that when they’re ready to discuss it they can come back.
2) Natural Consequences: Another effective strategy is to make use of natural consequences. For example, if a child has not done their homework or studied for a test, you can allow them to experience the natural consequences of their own choices by having them face the consequences of that choice. By having the child face these natural consequences, you are helping them to understand the importance of making wise decisions.
3) Positive Reinforcement: Positive reinforcement techniques are a fantastic way to encourage good behavior. This could include giving your child praise or rewards when they display good behavior. For example, recognizing when your child has taken the time to clean their room or behaved well in public.
4) Clear Expectations and Rules: Establishing ground rules and expectations is one of the key strategies in effective discipline. Be clear about what you expect from your child and explain why you expect it. Make sure they understand why it is important for them to act in certain ways. This helps to make expectations clear to both you and your child and can help avoid power struggles in the future.
At Mistress Domina, we believe in using positive discipline techniques to help kids learn and grow, while keeping them safe and respected at the same time. As parents, it’s important to discuss discipline with your child in advance, so that they understand your rules. Remember—the goal of discipline is to redirect your child’s behavior, not punish them. With the right strategies, you can help your child become a mature and responsible individual.
