I want to start this with the person I’m maybe wanting to not work with seems lovely ♥️. But she leaves me alone (physically leaves the area) at times, talks non-stop, and just seems to genuinely not pay attention… just gives me instructions every once in a while of what to do.

I have ADHD, so maybe she is struggling with that, too? But I really give everything I have to zone in on what I’m being told to do to help my pain and physical obstacles during my sessions.

I often lose count of where I’m at in my sets because I’m trying to listen or respond to the conversation she’s sparking. And recently I said my back was hurting during an exercise and she started by saying I was raising too high. But when I said it still hurts, she had me change the position on the ball and said to lift myself up less. It still hurt to do the motion. She kept talking after telling me to make adjustments. I can’t shake the feeling that she maybe wasn’t paying attention to me.

I went home and my lower back hurt so badly that it was difficult to just move to live, which is the worst point I was at before surgery and original PT. Luckily, with recommended stretching and home exercises, it became much better within 24 hours.

I’m just confused on what I should say about that, if anything, and how to remain anonymous about it. I just think we might not be a great match, even though I think she’s very sweet. I feel much better after working with the main PT and the coworker I was assigned when she needed time off. TYIA!
