Submissive Training
For many people, engaging in submissive training is a deeply personal and transformative path. It’s not just about scenes or protocols — it’s about growth, intention, and connection.
Princess Raven is here to guide you — whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned submissive ready to level up your experience. Submissive training, when done with care and consent, can help you:
- Deepen trust in yourself and others
- Discover fulfillment through structure and service
- Build discipline and confidence through learning how to set boundaries for yourself and those around you
Princess Raven has spent over a decade guiding submissives through ethical, empowering training — always rooted in consent, personal growth, and joyful exploration.
What Is Submissive Training, Really?
Submissive training is a structured, collaborative process of developing skills, mindset, and behaviors within a Dominance/submission (D/s) dynamic. It might involve:
- Learning physical positions (kneeling, presenting, posture)
- Practicing etiquette and rituals (greetings, titles, protocols)
- Following assignments or routines
- Reflecting on desires, fears, and boundaries
- Somatic grounding through mindful sensory exploration
It’s not about "obedience for obedience’s sake" — it’s about building emotional and psychological muscles: trust, healthy boundaries, and giving yourself permission to make room in your life for what brings you happiness and fulfillment, even if it feels a little outside-the-box.

Setting Intentions: What Do You Want to Learn or Become?
Good training begins with clarity. Ask yourself:
- Why are you drawn to submission?
- What parts of yourself do you want to develop?
- What excites you? What scares you?
Setting goals helps you stay grounded in your journey, whether it’s:
- Improving your ability to communicate vulnerably
- Deepening your understanding of service
- Reaching a specific submissive mindset (e.g., surrender, presence, devotion)
Princess Raven offers one-on-one coaching sessions that help you set personalized, realistic goals that match your desires, limits, and lifestyle.

- Meditation: Use breathwork or mantras to center and soften your internal state

- Offer constructive feedback without judgment

Submission often brings up big feelings — and that’s okay. You might feel:

- Imposter syndrome (“am I doing it right?”)

- Anticipating your Dominant’s needs
- Creating a calm space
- Preparing something thoughtfully
- Offering focused attention with presence and pride
