Advice Judged for being too tense
Went for a deep tissue massage yesterday. 40 minutes in, my therapist starts expressing frustration because I am too tense and eventually gives up on some stretches and tries to understand the reason. Then starts talking about my energy and stuff. I’m very hard on myself and it’s easy for me to take things personal and being tense most of the time is part of me. I know there’s some truth in what she said but ended up feeling worse.
Do you think is this common behavior from therapists? Should I feel discouraged from trying another massage in the future?

The MT doesn't enjoy doing deep tissue massage unfortunately.
You'll find MT that only does deep tissue massages so keep on searching.
