Have you ever wondered why the same painful patterns keep recurring in your life despite your best efforts to change them? What if a part of you secretly enjoys these struggles? This provocative idea forms the foundation of Existential Kink, a radical approach to personal transformation. Unlike traditional self-help methods that focus on positive thinking or willpower, this method invites us to dance with our darkness - and discover unexpected liberation in the process. The approach draws from Jung's observation that "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it Fate." Our hidden desires get fulfilled in ways we don't recognize, instead experiencing them as calamities. Most of us carry a shameful feeling of being "not okay" that we try to hide through accomplishments, approval-seeking, or addictions. Even highly functional adults find dark patterns repeating in their lives despite their best efforts. The fundamental insight emerged from questioning whether we unconsciously enjoy our own suffering. Consider your most persistent problems - relationship difficulties, financial struggles, health issues. What if these aren't just happening to you, but are unconsciously created by you because some part of you derives pleasure from them? This isn't about blame but liberation. When we recognize our "existential kink" - our unconscious pleasure in pain and limitation - we open space for transformation. Having is evidence of wanting. Whatever persists in your life, even hardships, reflects unconscious desires - not your conscious self wanting difficulties, but your unconscious, daemonic part. This recognition empowers you to see your role in creating your reality, giving you the ability to consciously choose something different.
