This is not your average self-help workbook.

Created by award-winning Dominatrix and trauma-aware guide Diana Von Rigg, Dom(me) the Darkness Within blends kink-informed insight, emotional intelligence, and radical self-awareness into one groundbreaking journal.

Inside this 200-page deluxe edition, You’ll find:
- A full breakdown of a reflective framework for reclaiming shadow, shame, and erotic power
- Tools rooted in Polyvagal Theory, attachment styles, and consent education
- Self-care rituals designed for neurodivergent minds, burnout recovery, and sensory regulation
- Real talk on chronic illness, disability, and how to reclaim Dominance from a body that doesn’t always cooperate
- Illustrated tracking tools, emotional check-ins, ceremonial prompts, and power-mapping spreads
- Language and layouts designed to support non-linear healing, masking fatigue, and kink-affirming exploration

This is a journal for those who live on the edges; the Dominants in disguise, the baddies in burnout, the switchy soft-hearted sadists, and the ones who crave both control and release.

It’s not about fixing Yourself.
It’s about remembering Your power, on Your terms.

Who This Is For:
You’ve outgrown or never suited traditional wellness.
You’ve been called “too much” or struggled to find the tools to rise into your power
You crave rituals of reclamation, eroticism, and control.
You're exploring, curious or even well-versed in BDSM
You're looking for a trauma-informed journal
You're curious about aftercare... for YOU.

From the Author
I wrote Dom(me) the Darkness Within because I got tired of pretending power was something you perform, it came from a deep need to confront My own shadows when traditional methods of wellness have consistently failed or have been too mainstream to truly meet My needs.

As a neurodivergent Dominatrix with over a decade of personal and professional experience in kink, BDSM, and trauma-informed healing, I created this for those walking the path of erotic reclamation, ethics in kink and radical self-honesty, not with fluff, toxic positvity or spiritual bypassing, but with real tools, rituals, and reflections that demand your presence.
So if you’ve ever felt like too much or not enough…Here’s a weapon. Here’s a ritual.

Here’s the shadow you’ve been trying to outrun, and how to Dom it.

— Diana Von Rigg
Dominatrix. Mother. Warrior.

This work stands on the shoulders of many: from the radical lineage of Jungian shadow theory and somatic trauma healing, to the erotic minds who reclaimed kink as ceremony. Deep gratitude to the thinkers, rebels, and readers who made this reclamation possible.
