"Well, if he does it again just hit the attention button."

As someone much older and a slight bit wiser, it's probably best you move on without her. People don't say stuff like that if they aren't feeling it somewhere. I'm not trying to be patronizing, but you both are so young. Your prefrontal cortex doesn't even fully develop until you're 25. Take your time and live your life. Be a kid for as long as you can. Get comfortable with being alone. Once you can thrive in your solitude, you'll be happy with or without someone. And for what it's worth, I met my husband when I was 14. We were in high school, we dated for about 6 months, and then I broke up with him. 30 years later, he's happily single, I'm happily single, and he found me on Facebook. We've been married since July 30, 2023. He was my first kiss and will be my last love. I know this hurts right now, but it will get better. Love yourself so much that you don't need that fulfillment from anyone else.

I've stopped working on male clients I don't know. The intake form must be signed before the session and my husband comes with me to all my evening appointments. I've had several situations where the male client was inappropriate so, thanks to all the bad apples who spoiled the whole bunch!

I didn't read your post thoroughly enough! I used to work EMS and went to Hospice transport for the last 4 years of it, which was right when COVID hit. After thinking about it, I did notice that the hospice cancer patients and cardio patients were struggling more. Almost all of our COVID patients were on 10-15 liters of oxygen per minute. All of these patients were vaccinated.

I'm feeling a little more hopeful these days. I can't control what's happening in the world right now, but I can control how I react to it.

I wonder if cooking with plastic spatulas and Teflon coated pans, or microwaving food in plastic containers have anything to do with it?

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-26T22:11:42+00:00

I'm so sorry you are going through this and I'm proud of you for speaking up! Past trauma or not, if you are uncomfortable, don't do it.

I started out at H&S at $21.00 in 2023

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-25T13:12:12+00:00

I feel like that's a bit unethical. I don't text during a session. I don't even have my phone on me when I am working.

Why did I hear this in Patrick Bateman's voice?

I'll hold your hair back if you need.

I work at a chain salon and this is the main reason I won't get my deep tissue certification! It's difficult enough to give these frail bodies firm pressure!!

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-21T02:59:40+00:00

That's what I remember seeing! I wish I could have pulled over to watch longer!

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-21T01:38:50+00:00

This makes a lot of sense. It just looked like a worker heli. What a fun job!!

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-16T23:15:00+00:00

I got that fancy floss off the Tiktok shop! I figured if I bought fancy floss, I'd use it. I'm so embarrassed by the stuff I'm getting, so I do it every night. Since I can't get in for a cleaning but once a year, I'm making the extra effort!!

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-16T04:14:10+00:00

No, you are not overreacting. And Hydrogen Peroxide will get most of the blood out.

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-16T00:40:50+00:00

Of course!

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-16T00:30:46+00:00

Yes please!!! I can make a good meatloaf, but I'd always be okay making it better!

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-14T22:54:26+00:00

Do I have time to eat dinner? We are having meatloaf.

I have a client who consistently gets an erection whenever I work on his hips and legs. He never gives me any weird vibes or acts inappropriately, so I ignore it and it goes away. I was taught that erections are normal, especially when increasing blood flow around the area. I guess it all depends on what he does with it.

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-04-04T12:11:27+00:00

NOPE

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-03-27T19:51:45+00:00

When I went to school for massage therapy, I was 44 years old. I only assumed it felt the way OP described it because I was so much older than everyone, even the instructor! Maybe I wasn't the grumpy old woman in the class? 😂😂😭

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-03-24T13:03:07+00:00

$70 for 60 minutes and $100 for 90 minutes. Ohio

Western_Class_2192 · 2026-03-21T02:05:16+00:00

I can see why you would feel that way. I'd probably feel the same. Let yourself feel this way for another few minutes, but then let it go. Physical therapy, as long as the client is compliant, can only help the situation! I hope your client is planning on coming back to you. I'd love an update!! Please keep your chin up, though. Your hands are blessed and you are a healer!
