I am called "the fetish analyst" because my work is a type of philosophical practice
(as opposed to clinical practice) with a focus on the analysis of alternative sexuality,
especially repetitions that involve violence, morbid themes or 'dark' perversions.
My realm of theory and practice includes:
Extra-marital sexuality, fetishes, fantasies, bizarre urges, obsessions, compulsions, sexual fixations, recurring violent thoughts, extreme perversions, blood-sports, age-regression play, bondage & slavery, domination & submission, sadomasochism, transvestism, sissification, forced feminization, humiliation, cuckolding, and what clinical psychology is now calling 'sex addiction': obsessions with pornography, prostitutes, escorts, mistresses, dominatrices, etc.
Please see my articles to get a sense of how philosophical practices are different from clinical/medical practices. The main difference is that philosophical practices do not pathologize common or uncommon behaviors by making broad-sweeping judgments about whether some certain behavior is 'normal' or 'abnormal', which of course implies notions of 'healthy' and 'sick'. Human behavior is far too complex to fit into any overly-simplistic category of 'either/or'. These clinical/medical/pathological ideas are useless to non-clinical practitioners who evaluate the whole human being rather than just a set of symptoms.
The basic purpose of the type of analysis that I do is to discover the underlying reasons for the existence and persistence of certain psychological and behavioral patterns. Analysis of a disturbance is the starting point, not the ending point of doing something about the disturbance. A change in a mode of being in the world requires a series of well-executed actions, and analysis is not an action, but is the groundwork, the preparation necessary to get ready to take action. Once a person is clear about the nature of a problem, and thereby becomes ready to do what needs to be done to solve the problem, the actions that follow are likely to be highly effective because they come from a point of clarity and determination rather than just a vague sense of desire or an artificially forced, indeterminate will-power that always breaks down in time because rational force can not be sustained indefinitely (because the rational mind is weak; the impetus for action must come from a very deep, ontological part of oneself for it to be sustained).
So, my job as an analyst is to bring crystal clarity to ontological disturbances in order to help people become ready to undertake whatever kind of action-oriented therapy is most suitable to the nature of the problem. I do not do any type of therapy myself, but at the end of the process of analysis, I make suggestions on types of therapies that may be worth trying. Most of my suggestions are based on empirical data, that is, my own experience in trying various types of therapies myself, along with several years of discussion with others who have undertaken various kinds of therapy as well. I've tried dozens of different modalities in my life of research and experimentation on the healing arts, modalities that range from the typical clinical approaches of sitting-upright-in-a-chair-under-bright-light to the non-clinical body-oriented modalities, to trans-personal approaches, to esoteric traditions, etc.
Analysis options: in-person, by telephone, or VOIP (via Skype).
In-person: Seattle, Tacoma (WA), Portland (OR), Vancouver (BC).
My office is on the waterfront in the center of downtown Tacoma.
