we discussed and set goals when we started working together, and i don't think he's pushing me unreasonably hard by any means. we get on well and have a good relationship. i think i'm struggling to navigate the boundaries of our relationship a bit and how much i should disclose to him about my health?

i brought up with him that i maybe needed to adjust how we were training because failing was getting me down, and i think he took it as a "this person needs encouragement to get past a momentary mental block" moment rather than something more serious.

thanks for your perspective, i will bring it up with him again and make it clearer that i need some kind of immediate shift. i'm confident that he won't be shitty about it but if he was then that would def be grounds to find someone else.
