Fetische entlarvt: Zwischen Lust, Trauma und dem Schatten der Kindheit

Fetishes and Role Play – Between Expression, Need, and Trauma - Prof. Ashok Riehm Sexual preferences are as individual as people themselves. But when are fetishes and role play a healthy expression of inner needs – and when do they reflect unresolved conflicts or early injuries? In this video, I explore how we can psychologically distinguish between desire, conditioning, and trauma – without stigmatizing. 🔹 Contents: – Introduction: Between Curiosity and Shame – What are fetishes and role play? – Psychological origins (imprinting, conditioning, trauma) – Fetish development in the shadow of narcissistic parents – Otto Kernberg on fetishism and perversion – When is it healthy – and when is it problematic? – Case studies (Daniel & Lara) – Special case: Age play and 24/7 diaper wear – Diagnostic criteria according to DSM-5 and ICD-11 – Tips for self-support and communication – Conclusion: Between expression and defense – the truth lies deeper 🔹 You will learn: why fetishes and role play are not an illness, how early imprinting, trauma, or narcissistic parents can influence, what perspective psychoanalysis (Kernberg) brings, how to distinguish healthy from problematic patterns, which steps toward self-reflection and integration help. 👉 This video aims to differentiate, not stigmatize – and encourage you to understand your own sexuality respectfully and consciously. ✍️ I am Prof. Ashok Riehm, clinical neuropsychologist & psychologist.
