This is very important to shine a light on, on both ends of the spectrum. Dommes and subs can both suffer from undiagnosed mental health disorders and shining a light on it, is eye opening for everyone on either end of the Ds spectrum. It's essential to remember that personal safety is important–especially with something as intimate and delicate as BDSM where safety and trust are exchanged on both ends.

As far as personal safety is involved,we cannot diagnose others as that is beyond our scope of practice (on both ends) however, a few good things to keep in mind are:

-Consent can always be withdrawn when someone (D or s) is unsafe.

-Following the above, if one sees extreme moods/ behaviors in scenes that are erratic, a person must remember that they have agency to ask to end the scene safely and cut contact.

-Consensual non-consent (CNC) is never a given and always has to be negotiated where & when the parties are both of sound mind. If one of the parties isn't, consent can and should be revoked. CNC is never to be assumed by either party.
