Not cool.

No therapist should ask that of a client unless they are working with the client on fitness goals.

Reading that back, I recognise that the gym is a more appropriate environment to focus on fitness.

Doesn't seem to me like that's the focus of your work with her, right?

Yeah, I was also thinking it sounded like she wanted MountainDewed to be an accountability buddy, which isn't right.

My therapist will occasionally say things like, "You know how I feel about exercise being helpful" or something like that. But he doesn't push it on me. He knows that I know I should be more active and that if he pushes that (or anything really), it doesn't tend to go well. It needs to come from me, not him (or anyone else).
