Practice active listening and empathy towards your submissive from "summary" of The Loving Dominant by John Warren,Libby Warren
To be a loving dominant, it is crucial to practice active listening and empathy towards your submissive. This means truly hearing what they are communicating to you, both verbally and non-verbally. Active listening involves more than just hearing the words that are being said; it requires you to pay attention to their tone of voice, body language, and emotions. By actively listening to your submissive, you can gain a better understanding of their needs, desires, and boundaries. Empathy plays a significant role in the dynamic between a dominant and their submissive. It involves putting yourself in their shoes and trying to see things from their perspective. By empathizing with your submissive, you can build a stronger connection with them and create a safe and trusting environment for both of you. It is essential to validate their feelings and experiences, even if you may not necessarily agree with them. Communication is key in any relationship, but it is especially important in a D/s dynamic. By practicing active listening and empathy, you can foster open and honest communication with your submissive. This means creating a space where they feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or retribution. By being present and attentive during conversations, you show your submissive that their words and emotions are valued and respected. Remember that being a dominant does not mean that you always have to have all the answers or be in control at all times. It is okay to be vulnerable and show empathy towards your submissive. This does not diminish your role as a dominant; rather, it strengthens the bond between you and your submissive. By actively listening and empathizing with them, you demonstrate that you care about their well-being and are committed to their growth and happiness.- Practicing active listening and empathy towards your submissive is essential for building a healthy and fulfilling D/s relationship. By truly hearing and understanding your submissive, you can create a strong foundation of trust, communication, and mutual respect. So, take the time to listen, empathize, and connect with your submissive on a deeper level.
