Driven to Tears: Why We Play On The Edge

Some of us play at the edge of what we can take - we push ourselves until we can’t push any further, we cry until there are no tears left, we go to a place where we are less than and more than who and what we were before. But why? What is it about playing at the edge, either as a top or as a bottom, that is so appealing for some of us? Let’s talk about it; what we do, how we balance trust and fear, what cathartic play can offer, as well as the spiritual aspects of what is becoming known as “ordeal path” work and whether that path is a valid one for some of us to consciously follow.
