Dear Occupational Therapist,
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
You don’t need to know it all.
You don’t need to be armed with answers.
You don’t need to prepare for every clinical scenario.
You don’t need to collect yet another certificate.
But you need to listen.
Listen deeply.
Not just with your ears.
But with all of your senses.
What do you see?
What do you sense?
Listen deeply.
To your intuition.
To the other human soul sitting in front of you.
This cannot be taught.
Or measured.
Or fabricated.
It must be felt.
