Punishment and abuse are two entirely different things.

This is a post about punishment.

That’s right. BIG. BAD. UGLY PUNISHMENT… or is it?

This one little word has been misconstrued, misunderstood, misrepresented, and misinterpreted for years now, thanks to the heavy-handed, forceful style of some “trainers” and their far right-wing counterpart, the “purely positive” un-caped crusaders.

Sadly, there’s a stigma now attached to this word. One based on total untruth and continues to get perpetuated… and I’m done with it.
