Re: [Reflexology Community ] Self-discipline

I am with Lynne, Kay. It isn't always easy to find a break. They usually cool
off next session
or you may a bigger problem.

talked and talked, bless her. And like a daft person (!) I let her, rather than
saying
something in the "tell you what" or "sorry to interrupt" line, which I know she
wouldn't
have minded. Grrrrrrrrrrr - lol. I'm pretty certain she'd happily talk for
England at any
future appointments, so I already dropped an extra appointment into my calendar
as soon
as I'd got home.

everything you
say as getting it all out is a good thing, but why don't we just make a start on
your feet at
the same time, otherwise we're going to run out of time." Once you actually
touch them,
that may well take the place of the need to offload, as their body will do the
releasing, not
their mind. The reflexology will take over.

remind her at the
beginning of the next session that you have a client to follow on her treatment
(whether
true or not) and that you won't be able to spend as long as last time.
