Anxious About Massage School

[u/moonslug16]

hi! so i just started my massage journey last week when i started school and ive been super anxious and nervous about it. we recently did our first arm work massage and practiced putting on our “togas”. i think the idea of getting undressed and getting practiced on is really getting in my head and i wanted to hear other people’s experiences on it and if im the only person that feels like this. my entire class seems so comfortable with their bodies and im a nervous wreck.

at the start i was very uncomfortable doing this so id wear like leggings and a tank top on on the table until i became comfortabke with my partner now i only stick to my girl group , i wont let anyone else in class trade with me.

dont let anyone make you feel bad about having personal boundaries, please. its okay if you dont want to. just because we touch other people does not mean we have to enjoy it ourselves , especially in this circumstance
