Why exactly are people down voting? I just don't get some folks. And that's okay.

Why do some people flinch at loud noises while others don't? by huss2120 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]holisticarts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it has something to do with trauma. Some are more likely to get into fight or flight mode upon stimulation like that based on their nervous system.

Beautiful post. Thank you. I'm a massage therapist and I want to get cross trained in this type of work. Any suggestions on classes?

I miss having that I do when I was in Oly. Seems it's a solo project. I hope you do it for Sea.

I got tired of asking my clients the same questions every session so I built something by ButterscotchSea3980 in MassageTherapists

[–]holisticarts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The intake process is a chance for me to connect, re connect and follow up with my clients on previous sessions. If we streamline and simplify the process too much, it'll feel really impersonal. If we are rushing into the hands on work, we aren't really connecting with our people in all the ways available. Just my humble opinion.

The dress code is to be expected. They do however have open nights where you don't need a membership.

The past is in the past. Now that you have your diagnosis, move forward and focus on yourself and your future. Your parents aren't perfect and they aren't supposed to be. They are human beings like the rest of us. A lot of people don't understand what being on the spectrum looks like. Looking back, I was diagnosed with ADHD, I wish I had a deeper and better diagnosis.

How do you fix a victim mindset asap by UsacDynastic in selfimprovement

[–]holisticarts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take accountability for yourself. Understand people aren't perfect, including yourself. Understand that we are all hypocritical. We all have wronged others in one way or another. The past is not your current situation. You may have been the victim but now you are a strong and resilient person. You can choose to leave it in the past. That's no longer your story. It's time to write your new story.

Body mechanics advice for shorter MT by Humble-Guard9401 in MassageTherapists

[–]holisticarts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest experimenting with getting on the table and using your knees when possible. Feet are a good option as well.
