That moment...
So today I decided to finally start a blog about my experiences of being an OT. Why today? Well when you’re going about your day, working 9-5, week in week out, it’s easy to get caught up in all the dramas and forget what it is you’re actually there for. It wasn’t until a client told me today that they were considering pursuing a career in OT as they had found our sessions ‘invaluable’ that made me stop and think…yeah, OT is pretty awesome! In this case our OT sessions had given them a break about thinking about their problems and made them realise there’s so much more to life than, in this case, their eating disorder. Mental health issues can become all consuming and OT can help open/reopen doors to get some of that balance back. So yes, today made me stop and think…OTs are a pretty essential part of recovery and we help in so many ways that we don’t even realise…
