This document discusses how to handle abuse in the massage room. It identifies two types of abuse - verbal and non-verbal abuse. For verbal abuse, the therapist should first ignore inappropriate comments, then make a statement indicating the comments are unacceptable, and on the third incident vacate the room. For non-verbal abuse like unwanted touching, the therapist should reposition the client's hand on the first incident, repeat and make a statement on the second, and leave the room on the third incident. It also provides tips for therapists such as maintaining respect and not retaliating against abusive clients.
