What to do when you've gone too far.

[pocketrocket]

I remember an old song called "Twilight Zone" by Golden Earing. The words went, "You know you've gone too far, when the bullit hits the bone." That's not what I mean. What I have in mind is a bit more subtle.

Without going into detail, a professional "discipline therapist" take a photomodel to some extreme places in order to get the shots. After its over, they both get paid for the pics and go their ways. A sense of unease settles into the therapists mind, eventually jelling into the realization that her first concern was not for the client, the model in this case, but with her own need to get the perfect shot. To sum it up, when she is finally able to put the problem into words, there is no chance to make appologies, ammends, whatever.

All this angst makes the character more interesting, but I am out of my depth. I do not have any solid ties to this kind of professional or to the BDSM lifestyle. So I am asking for input from anyone who deals with consent issues. What would you do with this kind of problem? How much and how long would it bother you? How far would you go to make it right?

I might try posting this question on the BDSM board, as they are all writers as well (and damned talented ones, at that) and tend to reply quickly. I'd also be a little more specific about how exactly BDSM or NC comes into play, as I wasn't very sure where the problem is.
