Every week, we would connect and talk about the ways that our roles as Dominants in long term, loving Dominant/submissive relationships were calling us to higher integrity, and demanding the absolute best from each of us as men.

In this thought-provoking episode of Conscious Dominance, Eric explores the concept of "embracing the suck" within dominant/submissive relationships, introducing his Dynamic Sexual Relationship Expansion (DSRX) methodology. He challenges traditional DS dynamics by advocating for a container that allows feminine expression and expansion rather than control or suppression. Eric discusses how true dominance requires masculine ego death while encouraging authentic feminine voice. The episode culminates with eight powerful reflection questions that invite listeners to examine their own relationship patterns: Where do I feel the urge to control rather than host?When triggered, can I see this as an opportunity for ego death and growth?How might I be suppressing my own truth or encouraging my partner to suppress her truth or their truth?What pattern of self silencing and self betrayal do I recognize in myself or my partner?How can I create a container that allows for expansion rather than restriction?Where do I need to grow up to hold space for my partner's full expression?Am I willing to feel like hell sometimes as a part of this growth process?How can I get the tools to hold myself and alchemize my hell into love?Are you ready to transform your relationship through conscious dominance and true polarity?Connect with Eric and Rachel today through the links provided and begin your journey toward relationship mastery.About Conscious DominanceCONSCIOUS DOMINANCE PODCAST began as a candid weekly conversation between two friends, Eric and Andrew, exploring what it means to lead with integrity in long-term, loving relationships.
