Masochism
Masochism refers to emotional, psychological and/or sexual pleasure that is gained through physical pain or humiliation. This term was added to psychiatry in the late 19th century by Austrian psychiatrist Freiherr von Krafft-Ebbing and is included, along with sadism, in the DSM as a Paraphilia. It is the opposite of the term Sadism (taking pleasure in causing pain) although these two paraphilias are often jointly referred to as Sadomasochism.
People think they can destress and regulate their emotions by using only their minds.
