Treat Me, Specialist, for I Have Stressed

A few weeks ago, my wife took me to the spa to get a "Corporate Stress Relief" package for my birthday. Before each procedure, I was asked, "How long has it been since your last massage? How long has it been since your last facial? and How long has it been since your last manicure?" I wondered why that was important. Could they tell that it had been more than a year since I had any spa treatments? Were they about to chastize me for not coming in sooner? Did I really look that stressed? It kinda reminded me of Catholic school, when we would go to confession. Before each spiritual cleansing, the nuns taught us that we should begin each confession with "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been [one month/two weeks/ten days] since my last confession."
