I have asthma and can say that this has been the worst year for me in a long time. I was never allowed to miss school or work for it. I have been on several medications, some helped more than others, but my asthma was never truly considered controlled. My T also has asthma pretty badly. He has struggled more this year than most and does have a hard time some sessions with the mask. IDK... as someone with it I just don’t have much sympathy for calling out of work that much with it... but then I have never been in a position where I wouldn’t be fired for it. If going into the office is part of what makes it difficult, personally, I don’t see why she couldn’t reach out in some way. So many are doing teletherapy right now so I would see that as an option.
Everyone has their own limits and I do not believe they are mine to judge. As a client though I would need more consistency to reach my goals.
