Today, we're diving into a fascinating and often misunderstood topic: fetishes. What are they? Where do they come from? And are they linked to trauma? This topic was inspired by a listener who reflected on a past relationship where their partner had a specific fetish. It left them wondering whether childhood experiences, trauma, and family dynamics influence our sexual preferences. Today, we'll explore the psychology of fetishes, the distinction between kink and fetish, and what research says about their origins.What Is a Fetish?Where Do Fetishes Come From?The Trauma Question: Are Fetishes a Coping Mechanism?The “Daddy-Dom” Kink: Psychological InsightsDisorders vs. Fetishes: Understanding the DSM-5 CriteriaWhat Makes a Fetish a Disorder?‌DISCLAIMER: This is NOT therapy or a substitute for psychological and medical advice.Want to build a healthy relationship with food?Book a FREE 1:1 eating evaluation call HEREBook a retreat call HERE Ask Stephhttps://forms.gle/uMBhmtLW16ancWEc8 To access more of my courses use this LINKFREE Resources:Download my [FREE binge eating tracker tool]Experiencing burnout?
