“For as long as I can remember.”

MASSAGE THERAPIST

“Wow, you carry around your purse or your wallet, but your stress? Everyday?”

“What does that feel like?”

Silence.

MASSAGE THERAPIST

"Well, at any rate a good massage will bring great relief, through circulation. It will put you in a good place physically and emotionally so that you can hopefully come to terms with why you carry around your stress as if it were a body part."

An entire hour goes by, beautiful music playing.

CLIENT

"That’s it, wow what a relief it is!"

"I can think now! How did I let myself go that far?"

"So, this is who I am underneath all that baggage!"

Smiles, calmness, ahh.
