RE: Empathy - Don't Soak it in Like a SPONGE!
I gave a hug to a participant today who was in pain. She was taking one of my tougher classes too, I had to find lots of toned down options but she loves interval.
When I was talking to her, I saw her hands shaking constantly and she kept that this was the least of her worries. I felt bad but although I’m empathic, I’m always ringing my sponges.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING I’LL NEVER FISH AGAIN????!
Oh i'm so sorry to inform Mr B *isn't sure you want your real last name on here *
But, despite all the PT interventions you aren't safe to fish or do anything you enjoy.
OMFG. i'm so bad. I never say it like that but it's funny writing it out.
You'd make a good physical Therapist or Assistant (what i am) and could probably make good money doing it . Assistants make 20-30% less but it's still a very decent income.
Especially since you're able to adapt for your clients so well, why not get paid more to do it?
Lol. Of course, i don't know how all that works in canada and youd have to go back to school. 😟
I applaud you though. We need more trainers like you willing to be patient with an aging population to keep them safe and moving!
Thank you. I appreciate the sentiment. This participant seems young, in her early 40s but aging is not a number, it’s a state of being.
Sorry i assumed she was older because of the work you do with the senior community
