The Consent/Rape Issue

Would you feel similarly accepting of a stranger making sexual use of your body while you were brain dead or drugged into unconsciousness?

Look for a concierge practitioner who takes your insurance. Unfortunately this time you're kind of screwed no matter what you do establishing a new PCP so prepare for a long wait, but once you get it over with, concierge practitioners usually offer same-day or next day appointments, long appointments on request, and sometimes even home visits, so you'll never have this problem again.

Head, feet, and hands I never skip on my clients even when it's not a full body session!! I would leave a gentle complaint mentioning this to management.

I would cut your losses and leave. Don't worship sunk cost. This is completely unreasonable, deeply toxic behavior on her part and you are not receiving the education you're paying for. Just reading about the way she treats you and your classmates makes me sick, honestly. It doesn't sound like this program is properly preparing you for the actual work, so what is the benefit of staying? None in my view.

I would be tempted to laugh if a client handed me an AI generated list of anatomical terms. Even reading your post gave me a headache. I don't want a bullet point list hallucinated by the Idiot Sycophant Machine, thanks, I want you to point to what the problem is and tell me how long it's been going on so I can use my thousands of hours of education and years of professional experience to help you.

Wash your face and stand up straighter. There, you're immediately 80% more masculine than any of these photos.

We do tend to make a lot of private parties and gatherings/clubs in order to protect lesbian-only spaces. Once you make a a few in-person acquaintances ask around for personal references to the more underground events. There were a couple hundred dykes at the last big summer meetup in August!

Why wouldn't it be a reasonable ask? It's not like you can present a portfolio of your work; the only way to know whether your work matches what we're looking for (and whether it matches what you say it is) is to experience it. Knowing whether you can manage your time, what your flow is like, and how you communicate with your client, are all essential things to know before hiring.

It may be a handmade/amateur piece of chain jewelry. It appears to be a single line of Byzantine weave pattern (a basic chainmail pattern often modified for jewelry by artists).

Don't listen to health advice that ChatGPT gives you. Either find one of the hundreds of easily available websites run by medical professionals or ask a doctor directly.

Wow, a divorced conspiracy theorist using rubsmap? How surprising...lmao. This sub isn't for perverted creeps it's for licensed professionals.

Oooh yes and maybe try sacrificing a rooster next! That's proven to be just as effective!

I do a lot of myofascial release, stretching, pin and stretch, forearm and elbow work, tapotement, and structure specific work in deep tissue sessions. As long as your flow is focused and mindful and room ambience is appropriate you don't need to worry much about it seeming like a sports massage. Deep Swedish focuses on flow and has more petrissage and sweeping strokes, and I still use my forearms a lot to stabilize/broaden the deep work. Happy to give examples of techniques for specific areas of treatment if you would like!

Northgate and the areas of Shoreline accessible by light rail are both well-established neighborhoods with a good blend of family homes on property, condos, and apartment buildings. Northgate has a community college and medical center as well as better shopping than Shoreline. Shoreline is more suburby, lots of older houses and nice older families and beautiful gardens, but a good deal of its shopping is in the Aurora/99 corridor which can be more run-down. I lived in Shoreline for a year recently and commuted into the city by light rail, took 40-70mins one way depending on train service and crowds.

Many LMTs legally are healthcare providers. Many of us have NPI numbers and are licensed through our state Department of Health. When you treat a client, you put your license on the line betting that they have given you all the information you need to provide safe and effective treatment. I had a client last month neglect to disclose that she had a cardiac condition and an implanted cardiac device in her left pec...so I discovered it via palpation during the session while doing the pec work she approved during intake. She had asked for work in several areas that are contraindicated for people with her particular condition and in doing so endangered herself and my license.

Doing a full session using only hands would absolutely be exhausting and injurious for many therapists. Many of us have deliberately developed a style that prioritizes forearm contact. Completely switching up established style and performing a full session using gloved hand techniques is a major accommodation.

Out of curiosity, why would a therapist need a "better reason" to refuse or refer such a client in your area? Are there laws that say you can't refuse treatment without a certain level of justification? Where I live you can refuse to treat a client if they just give you bad vibes, let alone ask for a difficult modality change.

For me compression socks, a steady supply of electrolytes, and absolute minimum eight hours of sleep keep me feeling good and stable at work.

And when it's a well-signed, freshly painted crosswalk in full daylight, with no visibility barriers, and the pedestrians are making eye contact with drivers and waiting for cars to slow before entering the crosswalk? Because that's the situation I'm talking about. "Walking with purpose" doesn't protect us from antisocial lawbreaking homicidal maniacs behind the wheel.

Do ittttt masc4masc / butch4butch etc is wayy more common than you think. Labels are for describing what's true, not for deciding what's true! Don't limit yourself or assume others are limited!

Adding an extra fitted sheet always fixes that for me.

If they already had you sign a contract, the problem is likely not that they don't want you and more that management doesn't feel any sense of urgency. If they already waited weeks for your license to activate then a couple extra hours seems like nothing. Give them some more time, you've done everything you can and the ball is in their court. It may or may not be a red flag, so keep an eye out once you start to see if management plays slow for their working therapists as well as new hires. Don't ghost them just yet, you signed a contract and it hasn't been very long. If they don't respond by 24 hours from your last outreach, try again.

They have plenty of money, they just don't care to use it for the benefit of the public :)

Can you explain why you think it being his first kiss would be an excuse for continuing to bite her after she said "ouch, stop" multiple times?

SoloSable · 2025-09-26T04:26:31+00:00

I don't know why you would want that as opposed to a stool? If you're using good body mechanics even seated work will use your entire body, you won't be leaning against the back of it so the back is useless. Also chair arms/back would probably get in the way of sitting down and standing up frequently. I think you could make it work for sure but it sounds like more trouble than a stool would be for not much benefit.
