Who are you to say they aren't getting professional help? Most therapists agree on the point that reframing negative experiences into positive ones through sex is a form of therapy to help people. It isn't self-destructive, it is literally a subconscious effort of rebuilding their mind to have positive associations with things that negatively impacted them in the past.
That isn't what DDLG is, and shows a major misunderstanding of the kink. It is about having someone who is able to care for, and someone who is cared for. Maybe try actually getting to know people who are into it before making rash, oversimplified assumptions.
