Stop right there! You might be thinking “I don’t work in the area of trauma, this podcast won’t be relevant to me”! You couldn’t be more wrong. This podcast episode is relevant for every single OT on this planet – including you! Kim describes how trauma isn’t necessarily one big traumatic life changing event. She describes trauma as anything that takes a person outside of their window of tolerance. This would cover the large majority of our clients! So for example, trauma in the eyes of a child with sensory processing challenges could be every time they are asked to put their socks on. This everyday occupation can trigger ‘trauma’.

Kim eloquently explains what trauma is, the evidence for OT as a trauma intervention, her top 3 practical strategies when working with clients with a trauma history and why an individual would see an OT as opposed to another type of therapist. She also dives into her favourite topic: ‘relationship as a healing force’; what this exactly means and what we can do. Kim is a firm believer that ‘the only person you can change is yourself’. We crack this one open, as I was curious….. if the only person we can change is ourself, how do we help our clients create change?

I left the zoom call thinking, ‘how bloody good is our job?’. I know you will absolutely love this one. xx
