I'll say it again, I'm so glad you have your wise t. Yes, why didn't I think of that? Of course you can tell your PT guy that this particular exercise makes you feel uncomfortable. How come it's so logical but we both didn't think of it? Most people would say "NO". But we think we need to please people and do what they tell us or we will disappoint them and/or they will think negatively about us. That is not true.
If we are going to the movies and I want to see "X" and you tell me that you had no desire to see "X" and prefer to see "Y", I'll say, "Okay, let's see Y." It doesn't affect our friendship. Instead, sharing your feelings helps us makes decisions both of us are comfortable with.
Consider this practice ... difficult practice. PT guy will not think twice about your request.
Your sense of safty is more important anyway than what PT thinks.
