Trauma

Is it appropriate to let your massage therapist know you have a background of
trauma? I have read that sometimes during massages, buried feelings can surface. While I hope that doesnt happen, my fear is that I will "lose it" and upset my therapist. Also is there any reason to be out sexually to your massage therapist? Thanks, Sadmac

Wouldn't be the first time. If you feel you must tell,
put yourself into the row with all the many others that didn't see a need to tell. If it's so close to the surface, it needs to come out anyway.

I believe that, especially with a new relationship (I'm assuming this
is a new relationship), it's always important to think carefully about what you say and why you're saying it. The information about trauma could be important for the MT to know, particularly if you feel the work they're doing could set something off emotionally. On the other hand, if the MT gets a feeling that it isn't safe to work on you, they might decline all together. Particularly if there is an undertone of sexual tension in the room. I'm not sure how your sexual preference is important to the massage process. As you get to know the MT, it will probably become clear through conversations and cues anyway, if it is important to you that they know. The issue of sex and sexuality in the massage setting is a raw one for obvious reasons (see yellow pages under "Massage"). Although the responsibility to maintain a professional posture is on the therapist, the client's process determines much of how the MT acts/ reacts. Again, the question of why and how you talk about your sexuality is worth thinking about. Just my opinion.... usmdfm@aol.com (USMDFM) wrote in message news:<20040824161914.03786.00002410@mb-m19.aol.com>... > Is it appropriate to let your massage therapist know you have a background of > trauma?

Yes, sometimes things can surface during a massage, especially if its lingering on your mind. You will not upset your therapist though and even don't have to talk about it after that point. As for your sexuality, no it does not matter to a therapist. T |
