Our counsellors understand that we were each born into an environment that had expectations around how we would engage with our curiosities, our fears, our desires, our selves, and others.  When we initially experience interest in non-conventional sexual practices, interests and/or fantasies, we often experience distress, shame, judgement and feelings of disappointment.  For some of us, these experiences are compounded by a lack of acceptance around our two-spirit, lesbian, gay, queer, transgender, and non-binary identities.  At The Grounding Stone, we support folks with restrictive and sometimes traumatic histories in finding freedom in healthy and authentic expressions of their fetishes, kinks, and engagement in BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism).
