Getting rid of trauma induced fetishes: Altered states of consciousness

I figured I'd share this as it may help a lot of people suffering from discomfort caused by their sexual fetishes.

When we experience trauma in our post-natale life, so after birth, it may contribute to creating sexual fetishes, that's known. You are subconciously fixated on an emotional state you want to experience, that you feel deprived of, dependend on the trauma.

The thing is, when resolving trauma, in this western naive scientific materialistic paradigm, we are mostly doing in on the level of the intellect (analysing). Through free association, doing psychotherapie (talk therapie), on the level of your normal conciousness state.

A lot of consiousness research has shown that working on the level of experiential releasing works a lot better and goes a lot deeper. Trauma is stored into your body, bio-energetically. We can induce a holotropic state of conciousness, where you relive traumatic events from your childhood, experientially.

Trauma with the highest emotional charge will come into your conciousness and will be relived and released. So, this means, also your trauma's creating your fetishes will be released from your subconsious fully, and more effectively then when you are working on the level of the intellect.

Also, holotropic states of conciousness can induce experiences of prenatale fases of your life, and also transpersonal experiences. Conciousness research has shown that trauma experienced in the prenatale fase, can be the cause of your psychosomatic issues. This will be healed when relived. This has the power to make you more psychologically healthy and change your life.

Thus, when released, your fetish doesn't carry the emotional charge that was there before, that made it appealing to you.

Stop masturbating, Stop watching porn, stop fantasizing, stop engaging in activities that activate neural pathways corresponding with your fetish after releasing. I know controlling these impulses might not be very easy. Start with setting up a meditation practice and even a meditative yoga practice to control impulse and to stop compulsively think about your fetish.

Altered states of conciousness have really strong healing powers. Not only your sexual problems. A lot of psychosomatic issues have no biological cause. They are often created by prenatale conditions, creating a foundation for more trauma in the post-natale life (infant, childhood experiences).

There are a lot of ways to induce these holotropic states of conciousness, I would recommend holotropic breathwork. You can attend workshops in group setting.

Also, if you want to read more about this, I'd recommend Stan grof's work. He is the leading conciousness researcher with 50 years of experience in this field. You might be sceptic because of your current identification with the scientific materialistic pardigm that doesn't acknowledge the healing powers of these states of conciousness.

Explore it for yourself I'd say, it might help you. Not only with sexual issues, but your mental health in general. There are a lot of experiences that you can get in these states, permenantly shifting your conciousness. Opening you up to relative truths and even absolute Truth. If this sounds woowoo, then you don't acknowledge the metaphysical reality and are stuck in a naive paradigm that holds you back from raising your conciousness and quality of your life.

Yes, be sceptic, be critical. But don't be naïve as well. Don't dismiss something you don't know anything about that might be your solution. If you vibrate with what I am saying, you'll know. And you'll go from here, and there may be a good chance you get rid of your psychological issues.

Don't overestimate what you know about reality. Do you know actually anything at all? Have you looked in every little corner and tried every possible thing? It's not even about getting rid off your fetishes. It's much deeper. It's healing on all possible levels. Emotionally, spiritually, physically even.

It's also about raising your conciousness, developing intuïtion, getting insight into your own psychology, your unconsious motives, your mental-emotional reaction patterns, your vision, who you authentically are and want.

There's much more to grow into then just being a sexual healthy individual.
