MASSAGE THERAPIST, HEAL THYSELF

MASSAGE THERAPIST, HEAL THYSELF

In one of our text books we learn about the difference between "healing" and "curing." "Curing" is a passive thing in which the patient is completely passive. "Healing" is a process in which the patient takes an active part.

I guess I have to learn to accept healing as well as to give it, even though I have been told "there's nothing wrong with you or "there are other people worse off than you." Part of that includes learning when to say "no." And how to say "my back hurts like a Mofo. I need a massage right now."
