The source does not claim BDSM is universally therapeutic. People need a conscious relationship to qualities society labels as their dark side. Shame walls are said to hide play, creativity, embodied self-expression, and childlike vitality. Unintegrated taboo elements may be sought through drama, outrage, eroticized danger, or compulsive attraction. BDSM and kink are presented as possible negotiated containers for exploring taboo qualities.
