My husband is a massage and craniosacral therapist. He sees clients, male and female, at three offices and in our home.
I look at my husband working with female clients as just part of his job. I know he cares about his clients and wants them to feel better like a psychotherapist does. The hardest part for me is when clients come to our house. I have social anxiety to begin with, so I really keep a low profile when clients are over. My husband literally says *all clear* when they're gone.
He's never been in therapy, but the massage and craniosacral therapists who work on him are women. I've met some of them, so maybe that helps me not feel threatened. During craniosacral work people can feel an emotional release, so I know he's probably said things. I also know that the people he goes to are professional and what he says stays in the room. One of them did craniosacral work on me and I know she didn't tell my husband anything beyond that I was very depressed.
And yes it is ironic that I hate to be touched and my husband is a massage therapist. I've never had a massage. Craniosacral work isn't intrusive- just a light touch. That I can handle.
