Husband going through a midlife crisis? 'Get a massage,' say those who've been through it
One of the most common suggestions on midlife crisis discussion forums for women whose husbands are experiencing a midlife crisis (or battling depression) is to book themselves a massage. A massage?
The suggestions typically come from women whose spouses' psychological conditions had led to both personal stress on their part as well as reduced physical contact between them. Almost all of these women noted immediate benefits from getting a therapeutic massage.
The Mayo Clinic agrees by noting that in addition to the obvious benefits of relaxation studies have shown that massage can benefit a person's self-esteem:
Because massage involves direct contact with another person through touch, it can make you feel cared for.
The Clinic also noted anxiety reduction and immune system improvements as additional benefits.
Of course massage is not a panacea for midlife crisis or marital problems. But part of the job of a person whose significant other is having problems is to take care of themselves making the massage suggestion a good one.
