So far I have been pretty lucky - non of the Dominas I have been sessioning with did have mental issues - at least not more than I do :-)

In the context of this discussion about Psychology, "PD" would be assumed to be Personality Disorder.

In kinky spaces? PD is Pro Domme. Just be careful you don't get entangled with any PDs with PDs! lol

EDIT: I should mention that having a personality disorder doesn't mean a person is psychotic or "unhinged". Just be careful of people with more seriously expressed disorders. That's when things can get ugly.

"Psychological baggage" is a broad category, just like "mental health".

Some people have baggage and it's not really a big deal and may not seriously interfere with their life or relationships, others are debilitated by it. The heavier stuff is usually apparently very quickly. Sometimes in email. Or a phone call. Sometimes it takes a session or two or three. You'll see stuff emerging.

I know what your Mistress means: some clients do see us as a confidant or therapist and take certain liberties with what they disclose without considering our feelings. This is why I ask clients to keep their personal lives to themselves.



Not all mental health issues mean that you would ever have a problem with someone. Depression and anxiety are very common mental health issues and most of the time they wouldn't create any kind of danger to you.
