Medical Gaslighting: Take Back Your Power
Medical gaslighting occurs when a healthcare provider dismisses, minimizes, or questions your symptoms in a way that makes you doubt your own experience.

Boundaries in Massage Therapy: What It Is and What It Is Not
Over the years, a massage therapist learns the importance of establishing boundaries with clients. These boundaries create a clear framework for both the therapist and the client.
