Sex therapy is a separate training. And one American MTs would have to go back to university for.I absolutely understand the necessity of strict protocols, Ms SB. And 10 years down the line my tired ass has accepted that we can't have nice things as the prevailing theme of all things.
Gotta make sure this is clear. Massage therapist is a fully legit practice worked by dedicated to the cause folks. Most bust ass to improve their skill set and the attitude toward their profession on the daily.
My original intention was allowing trained and vetted practitioners to be able to offer another type of therapy. They would have additional training in the study of mental health, trauma survival and adaptive needs.
Which would require a level of maturity and lack of shaming Burgerland does not/will ever achieve.
It's a nice idea but people suck. I am sorry randos still do the hip lift and manipulate the situation with money or threatened retaliation, review nukes or false complaints.
There is also the ugly issue of trafficking and abuse of marginalized people. And their very real lack of recourse and protections.
Massage boards are typically closer to either nursing or cosmetology than psychology/LCW.
They have to create and hold the line between sexwork (illegal in most places, and differently regulated in NV) and legitimate muscular therapy.
