> What we kinda decided today, though, is that I'm going to try to hold in my mind that, if I have a problem with it tomorrow, I can leave. Just because I show up, doesn't mean I have to stay. I can tell the other PT that I'm uncomfortable being touched, that it's hard for me to relax, and that he needs to be on the lookout for me to say "No more." And, maybe the fact that I can get up and leave will allow me to stay.That's a fantastic option! And the best thing is that it's really good practice to assert yourself and tell a PT that you demand that your body be treated with respect and caring.
I wish I had this option at the salon. I would have walked out on so many humiliating hairdressers. But the problem at the salon is that you have to pay, and if you walk out with your hair half cut, it's tricky to negotiate a discount and retain any kind of dignity whatsoever.
Racer, you'll be strong. your feelings will tell you if something doesn't feel right, just say- I've gotta go home now. thank you very much. nice to meet you.
