Episode 37 - How I control my submissive Control is a very charged word that comes with a lot of fear, judgement, and resistance. It’s also something that has often been abused. But inside of a loving Dom/sub relationship, consensual control is a central theme. There’s turn on in taking control. Surrendering control. It’s what makes power exchange into power exchange! In this episode, we explore control. What it is for us. The role it plays in our dynamic. The differences between being in control and being controlling. What each of us likes about the word and energy of control. The difference between control as a limiting factor and control as path to freedom, and lots more! ~~ Andrew & Dawn are full time coaches and educators, working to support individuals and couples in building healthy, loving Dom/sub relationships.    Social Links:  Instagram: https://instagram.com/_infinitedevotion YouTube: https://instagram.com/@infinitedevotion Facebook: https://facebook.com/domsubdevotion Here are some of the different free and paid options of how to work with and learn from us!  Subscribe: Get updates when we publish new episodes of Dom Sub Devotion and other new content at https://www.infinitedevotion.com/podcastsubscribe  Website: Visit our website at https://infinitedevotion.com for all of our latest content.  Coaching: You can learn more about working with us in 1-1 coaching and our various workshops, courses, and programs at https://infinitedevotion.com/work-with-us    Communion is a 6 month small group coaching program for women who are working to let go of control and live a more feminine, surrendered existence.
