You've got me under pressure


Too much pressure and you can trigger a fight or flight response. Too little and there is not much response at all. Finally the response I think sums up proper technique application is that it "hurts good".

I have three rules on applying pressure techniques.

1) Stay within their comfort zone. Too much pressure and you can trigger a fight or flight response. Too little and there is not much response at all. Remember Goldilocks?

2) Maintain eye contact. Or at least fairly constant eye contact. The eyes frequently indicate the response to your technique application.

3) Ask if it is comfortable enough. Even with eye contact some people are very stoic which isn't really good. They will say after a session, "you really killed me."

Finally the response I think sums up proper technique application is that it "hurts good". How many of you have heard this expression?
