yes it does help out with me it does. I was raped and molested for years on end. And i guess for some reason that being a slave has helped me cope with my fears and past of it. I think it has made me like being submissive and slave, and had to cope with many things when i first started doing sessions with my master. I had to tell him because i fear i would hurt him but like most you have to go in slowly with this and the more we do it the more i become confident and overcame my past and fears. I have tried being dominant but thats not my nature but i think with most i think it is a coping mechism i hope i spelled that right to help get their fears out and be more open and carefree again.
