I always make this a primary question after coming to it the hard way. Lucky readers will get an invaluable tip that should make sessions much more satisfying for both parties concerned:-)
Thank you for posting!

Have been on both sides of the table with this one. Good suggestion re: refocusing the conversation with massage-session goals. But and. Speaking from the position of also being the occasional client (something we all hopefully get to be), I’d encourage watching the use of potentially charged terms, like “drama queen,” especially in re: clients. Sure, they/we can get carried away with their/our stories, but usually it’s because this is the one time in the day/week/month/year someone’s going to listen and (hopefully) care. And they have to pay for that privilege. So, and I’m saying this as much as awareness to my massage-therapist self, it’s important to remember these are fragile beings we deal with, and if they sometimes get carried away with their story, maybe aren’t being “drama queens.” Maybe it was such a relief to talk about themselves and their own needs to someone who seemed to care, they forgot themselves. I mean, yes, of course rein them in. That’s super helpful for everyone, particularly them. No one wants to miss out on their massage time, right? But watch out for that inner eye roll. It gets transmitted, even energetically. Namaste.

By the time I got to the problem area, they were so relaxed I could do anything to that area with minimal problems and resolve it quickly. Gets great results. And I always managed to find a few extra minutes to do a littLE CST AND SER. Since I booked 1/2 hour apart, I would add an extra 15 mins for the CST & SER gratis!
