As a therapist working in San Francisco, people have sought out Dossie for her depth of understanding won by many years of real life experience. Her approach to providing healing to her clients is similar to that of her encouragement for people in the SM community, “In my work I do a lot of sand tray, art works, symbolic representation crafting, I see SM as a similar thing. I am so grateful to meld both of these ways of healing.”
Having elders in a community is essential to keeping that community healthy. Dossie is committed to supporting the BDSM community and other alternative sexuality communities that she is a founding member by helping other mental health professionals be culturally competent. She is training therapists on how to better serve sex-positive, adventurous, gender-queer people.
We look forward to more of Dossie’s work. It’s really an amazing thing to see her body of work, to learn about her current projects, to listen to what she plans to accomplish in the future, and know that according to Dossie, it all began because she decided to she wanted to lose her virginity.
Thank you so much Dossie!
