What about a "Gravity Manipulation" semblance where the user is affected by it as well as the target?

I came up with an idea for this a while back for an OC in a story. The character could control gravity in that she could create a push or pull from a single point anywhere near her, but the force of gravity would cause an equal force on her as well. For example, if she created a "gravity shield" from her hand to protect herself from projectiles, an equal gravitic force would push on her hand and arm. This would become potentially very dangerous to her because every time she used the "push" side of her powers, they could send her flying into a wall or something and the "pull" side of her powers could hurt her. One more extreme example is if the "origin point" of the gravity effect is centered on herself or part of her body. A wide-area spherical "push" shield could tear her apart and a "pull" version would be like suddenly being a few hundred feet underwater and could potentially turn her into a very short-lived pseudo black hole. If she doesn't use her aura to help counter the force of gravity, her own semblance could easily kill her.

Her backstory had it where she had previously broken tons of bones trying to train with her powers and even once ended up in the hospital after pulverizing every bone in one of her hands. She tried crushing a soda can while holding it and her focus slipped.

Would a semblance like this be acceptable or is it back to the drawing board for me?
