"You're not like other RMTs"

I'm glad I finally found you

Right from the beginning of my career as a Massage Therapist I would overhear more seasoned practitioners talking about getting drained from working on their patients. I listened to them discuss different types of people: needy people, people that projected anger and frustration, ones that would simply dump all their negativity onto you and the ever popular energy vampires.

For some therapists it will be a slow build up of negativity, for others it will be a single person that wipes them out. 

I had one such incident in college that really rocked my world and decided that once was enough. I needed to find solid, easy methods of protecting myself without a lot of dogma attached.
