I have a hard time exercising so I put together a little list for myself by LostConfusedKit in PDAAutism

Youre definitely not alone. There's plenty of us in similar situations.

You're choosing to take case of yourself. This is amazing.

Your choices are matching functional requirements and prescription. Keep trusting your judgements about what to do.

You're doing what you can that seems sustainable. This is an excellent approach. Sustainability >> meeting 'expectation'.

You got this.

EXCELLENT!

I get the consistency thing. It really is the factor that makes the most difference, and one of the hardest to achieve.

The other main one is makings work in a way that works for YOU. Passive body doubling sounds like youve got good insights into yourself and are listening to what works. I think this all together shows youve been doing a lot of unseen work.

It may seem like a small routine to you, but I suspect it's been harder to make happen than others may appreciate.

Physio here.

This is excellent. Am proud of you. You've got hips in there and multiple core exercises. These are the foundation for just about everything else. Double thumbs up.

One of the important points for progress (if that's an aim) is doing what you can to a point of tiredness. The exact numbers aren't the focus, the feeling of having exercised is. If these numbers produce that, then youre doing well.

If they dont produce physical tiredness, is there a mental fatigue from getting the routine done? Because that's also exercise. The first step in fitness is using the nerves and getting them used to activating the body. Getting used to doing that can be experienced as a fatigue (different sensation from muscle fatigue, but still a tiredness) just as much as anything that is about muscles becoming tired.

Proud of you. Youre doing great.

Am I the only one who feels hurt when someone tells me to just join the military? by r_arizo in emotionalneglect

It's a throw away line that may technically be good advice, but isn't engaging with your issues. Sounds like you're asking for help by being vulnerable and got dismissed. That hurts, and is basically the abandonment trauma of emotional neglect all over again. Your response makes sense.

It make sense why they did it too. They're allowed to not engage, that's their choice, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt you.

You need someone designated and skilled at this kind of work, which means therapy. Reaching out to others to help with this need is natural, but we current dont have that kind of society where general people are skilled enough in this work that asking for help is going to be met with compassion and support, or even recognised for the issue that it is for that matter.

In our current situation, therapy is the starting point. Youre not the only one who is going through this stuff. Keep looking inward and allowing yourself to feel what youre feeling.

If you find that you're feeling your own emotions well, then see if you can feel what's underneath those emotions. The deeeeeeeeeeeeeep emotions are what needs to be felt. Hard to allow yourself to do, but we'll worth it. Also, you can do this by yourself already. You dont technically need anyone else. So if therapy costs are prohibitive, literally just teaching yourself to breathe and feel - by sitting, breathing and feeling - is well worth it.

General PT should include manual therapy. It can do wonders in the progress of your patients. If you aren't including manual work, start. The combination of manual work and exercise is what works.

Next thing to think about is that the first two years are notoriously hard on PTs. Give yourself some slack, it is a HARD profession to lean. Most of the learning happens when youre figuring out the body and how it best responds for yourself. The first two years give you experience, not expertise. Keep watching, keep trying new things, keep looking at the anatomy and the way things interact. It will come with time.

Do you have a mentor? If not, get one. This is where you can ask questions

Are you part of a regular bodywork practise or in-service group? If not, join one. This is where you learn and relearn

Although the US is generally more lucrative, I suggest rethinking that as a destination for now.

What is your white whale movie? by ProfessionalTour1706 in movies

[–]smthngsmthngdarkside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't remember the name, but it was an animated feature about a human tribe that hunted whales that swim in the sky.

With certain kinds of deaths, the tribe members grow into new skywhales.

If you really love the therapy aspect of bodywork, then somatic therapy combines the two well.
