These are all good ideas, perhaps spicing things up will make a big difference?

I just want to say it’s totally okay to feel worried about hurting other people’s feelings. That said I want to encourage you that enforcing your boundaries for what makes you uncomfortable or what leaves you with a gross feeling after a session is important and how they react to that is from them and not something to feel guilt or shame from.
That’s a tough situation and communication is going to be the best way forward for you and to evaluate how they treat you when you communicate.

Always go with the basic rules of conflict avoidance then
- state how you felt
- give an example and how it affected you
- propose an alternative that would avoid making you feel that way
- state that you hope you can make it work together
That’s kind of what I remember from that training at work 10 years ago.
It doesn’t cast blame so much as try to create an understanding and a way forward…
Maybe it helps. Good luck.
