PuraVidaDip Posted March 12, 2025 Posted March 12, 2025 Words cannot begin to describe the peace and acceptance I feel now after working with Dr. Rhoda. She has helped me grow tremendously as a person—guiding me toward inner happiness and true self-acceptance. Everyone’s path is different. Personally, I had wanted to be back in diapers since childhood and had been wearing them 24/7 for years before I finally reached out to her—initially to help me stop. But through her compassionate guidance, I discovered something even greater: the freedom to embrace myself fully. Instead of fighting who I am, I’ve learned to accept and love myself, and my life has become indescribably better because of it. My wife, my children, my co-workers—everyone around me—can see the difference. I am more accepting, kind, and generous. I am more productive at work. I feel whole. This has been a monumental shift, one that has changed everything for the better. If you are struggling with self-acceptance, I cannot recommend Dr. Rhoda enough. She is worth every penny. Thank you, Diaper Doctor, for giving me the courage to embrace my true self. Life looks so beautiful from here on out! Here is a link to her site. https://thediaperdoctor.com/ 8

I am SO Happy for you - It takes a lot of guts to deal with the situations that come up sometimes!! I am happy that Dr. Rhoda, the Diaper Doctor, was able to help you!! It feels AMAZING to have a HUGE weight lifted off your shoulders!! It sounds like Dr. Rhoda used a little bit of "reverse Physiology" on you, and i say that because it was your intention to have her help you to STOP. I believe that the doctor was able to ask you the "magic question" of "WHY do you want to stop", and then you told her your reason for wanting to stop, and she says something like "WHY Stop?" and you had a conversation, you telling her what was on your mind - This led to her saying that you DON'T NEED to stop, and then I'd wager that she asked you "how does wearing diapers make you FEEL?", and she was able to ask that, and you told her you felt better when you are wearing them: You told her how you felt, and I'd betcha that she NOTICED what you already KNEW: Its AWESOME when someone can "help" you realize there is no HARM in doing what you are doing - That only applies if you have a wife or family that is NOT supportive of your choice to wear and/or use diapers! I am also very HAPPY for you for me, I was able to find support as well - My family (The ones I told) know why I have made the decision I did, and it is AWESOME to release all the stress I deal with - I just think of the stress as everything I release in the diaper, and it makes me happier Family is the MOST important thing here: Having their support helps: I think you'll be happier and more productive, now that you don't have to have all the stress: You don't really need to stop, unless what you are doing is harmful to you, your family, or others: Looks like you WIN the prize sir **HUGS** Brian 1

babystevie1987 Posted March 16, 2025 Posted March 16, 2025 That is amazing to hear. Just a quick question. Does you wife, daughter amd co-works know you wear? I assume your wife does at least 😅. But do others know or because you have really accepted who you are and are much happier with yourself that they just knows your more at peace but don't know that you wear diapers. Really happy for you by the way. 1
Sarah_Hillcrest Posted March 16, 2025 Posted March 16, 2025 This is great news! I've heard her on a few podcasts and read some things and was impressed. I was really excited for her book when it came out, and honestly I was kind of let down as it felt like it could have been any self acceptance book, just with whatever issue copy and pasted out to diapers. Though I guess the process of accepting that you're ABDL isn't much different than accepting anything else about you. 2 1
babystevie1987 Posted March 16, 2025 Posted March 16, 2025 I just looked up Dr. Rhoda website. I would love to have a session with her. Talk about everything and express how I feel. She sounds like someone that really understand us. 1
abdlwpg Posted March 16, 2025 Posted March 16, 2025 Glad you found someone who helped you. Would recommend the book Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff to anyone looking for a cheaper or free resource as it could be available at your local library. Not exactly self-acceptance, but pretty linked and probably a good read for anyone feeling down on themselves for being AB/DL. 1

Chat GPT Therapy is another low-cost resource which has been great for me as well. But no substitute for a person. Just now, PuraVidaDip said: Ill check it out via Audible!!!

Really happy for you by the way. Wife 100% yes. I have two boys and I think they do but idk. I do fake using a urinal sometimes thought 😕 trying to get them to pee so they dont have accidents . I haven't brought it up its unspoken. I had to change the other day and carried a bag into a truck stop. You do what you need to do. Co-workers? Probably but IDK I feel like if I told them they would be like I had no idea I thought you just had some weird bathroom habit. Who knows? I still struggle with this but really... it doesnt even matter! Not that big of a deal! On 3/12/2025 at 6:58 PM, ~Brian~ said: @PuraVidaDip BOOOOOOM!!
