As massage therapists, we have chosen to be a particular kind of human. The kind who puts the safety and health of the people we serve ahead of our own preferences and politics.
Those of us who are massage therapists get something we need out of our work . . . human connection and touch. But we can’t do our best at helping others when we’re not taking care of ourselves.
Boundaries—defining them, communicating them, and guarding them—can be tricky. All humans have a right to choose their boundaries. Sometimes this is easier said than done.
