I've put on like 5 pounds since our last session because of covid and this 5 day steroid I'm on for this frigging scary cough I had, and today my therapist was all like "how about you start working out on your treadmill? I didn't bring up my weight or food at all today. She just randomly said it. So now she wants me to do 20 minutes a day starting next Tuesday.
Was she talking directly about my weight gain or did she just word it badly or something? I don't really know how to bring up weight stuff because shes about 80 pounds heavier then I am. __________________ I'm Blue |

Did you mention any sort of increased anxiety, insomnia, or depression or some physical symptoms like fatigue that she thinks some exercise might help with? Or maybe she's talking about a moderate amount of activity improving the immune system (maybe relevant given recently getting sick) That'd be the most innocent explanation, anyways. Your therapist seems really odd though. Have you tried asking her to explain why she asks stuff like that when it comes across as out of place? I think it'd be easier for someone to give a real answer in the context of the whole session which she has (and of course she's the therapist who knows her own approach).

You talk about weight and size a lot. It is hardly surprising that she will talk to you in a similar vein.
