I am fortunate enough to be able to teach massage therapy students self care skills like stress management, so we go over things like excercise, mediattion, healthy eating, rest, recreation and relaxation. The biggest piece that I took away from this course was the mind trap section. Most of my students fall into categories like labeling, personalizing, and they struggle with emotional reasoning. I am going to make a point in addressing these mind traps with them and challenge their own self talk to use the remedies as reminders when issues do come up.
