What are good methods to train yourself for long massage sessions??
I'm currently going to school for Massage Therapy. I love the idea of healing the body and providing therapeutic relief for others, but I'm not sure if I currently have the attention span to perform 60 - 90 minute sessions, which are the standard for a booking. As of now, I can only last about 15 - 20 minutes (terrible I know). Of course, I want to be able to strengthen this, so are there any personal methods or mental exercises that I can do to help?
What other paths outside of massage should I take?
I have been an LMT going on five years now and I am MENTALLY drained. Physically I am fine and could honestly do this back to back and not burn energy at all. Mentally I am drained, and every time I work on a client I feel like crying after. I'll make it simple. I am an introvert and single ( I have never been good at personal relationships) therefore I feel like I don't have a lot of emotional support to be able to offer much to clients. Although I'm very good and knowledgeable at massage, I lack emotional fulfillment . It's hard to feel someone's cup when mine is almost empty. I do want to stick with or in the massage world but I can't devote anymore than two days anymore working on people. I am mentally drained. What other routes can I take. What are some other good jobs/hustles to make ends meet?
