Many times when I get massaged I feel like I want to cry. Is that normal?
------------------------------------------------------
A: These are called "emotional releases." It is natural and certainly normal. Some people find they recall traumatic events when a certain area of the body is being massaged. For example, if one of your parents was physically abusive and would grab you roughly by the arm. Massaging that arm may release or remind you of that memory. Massage therapists are trained to help you through these memories, and are not uncomfortable if their client starts crying.
