My Dyslexic Life – Following Instructions

🔊 Listen

A Trip to the Physio: In this segment I’m talking about how overwhelmed we can get when we have lots of instructions and we have to add in a bit of our own personal orientation. For me, stepping onto moving things is difficult — so I am sharing a story of the day my physiotherapist tried to teach me how to walk backwards on a treadmill. I felt overwhelmed trying to make sense of his words, especially as I was moving and trying to follow instructions on how to do a familiar thing in an unfamiliar way.
