((((2b)))) I'm sorry you are feeling this way! My T has always said that often going slower in therapy is faster in the long run! Maybe...can you think positively, realize, that this is part of therapy, that it would not be a special request, it is a common idea where patient and doctor can agree... you might be able to at least get out the words to the T : "Slower. We need to go slower." ??? (or even only the word slower...and let T ask the question!

I would hope that T picks up on that fact first... and will be so proud of you for the self care. (T knows that is difficult for you!)
