WALTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS
In what appears to be an unusual approach to therapy, Giselle Merchant, MS, MSW, PhD, has decided to use a couple’s BDSM interests to get them to “shut the fuck up and stop whining like little bitches.”
The therapist got the idea when the couple launched into a fit of bickering in the office about who got tied up more often.
“The problem,” Beth Mortenson, 28, told The Daily Flogger, “is that we are both really greedy switches and as much as we both like being dominant sometimes, what we really enjoy is being tied up.”
Tim Mortenson, 32, agreed. “The core issue in our therapy is balancing play time, so we are grateful to Dr. Merchant for helping out.”
“I got so sick of their complaining,” said the doctor, “that I just tied them up and gagged them for their session. They seemed happy, I got some peace and quiet, and I get to have a little kinky fun too.”
Dr. Martin Shreck, head of the APA and a practicing therapist for 30 years said he didn’t see a problem with her solution. “I think a lot of us would love to strap a ball gag on some of our patients,” he told The Daily Flogger, “and as long as she isn’t fucking them, I don’t think there is an ethical breach. Unorthodox? Certainly. But that is how practice moves forward, but taking new, daring, and sexy chances.”
Dr. Shreck added, “You don’t happen to know if she is taking on new patients, do you?”
