Survival diary of an OT.

So much to think about..

How I have changed in one year. Twelve months ago I was so disillusioned with working as an Occupational Therapist (OT) in the NHS I was desperate to find "a way out". I started a diploma course in life coaching, and to my amazement during the residential weekend I came away with exciting long term goals that included Occupational Therapy and left me feeling energised. Over the next months and through my own experience of being coached I began a journey of rekindling my passion for OT and staying in the job I'd hated. I want to share the experience to enable OTs out there who are feeling disillusioned, undervalued and misunderstood to create the role and job satisfaction that they dreamt of when ploughing through a tough course and all those clinical practices. I look forward to tackling those tricky issues in the near future.
