I’m going to keep it real - being an OT is hard. There are times when I question myself...is what I’m doing actually working? Does it even make a difference? Will this strategy help? Do I really know what I’m doing? Whether you call it Imposter Syndrome or just lack of confidence, it’s something that many of us struggle with, whether we’re a new graduate or a seasoned clinician…Sometimes it’s just something simple said to us that is exactly what we need to hear when we’re questioning ourselves. It gives us that boost of confidence that we all need as therapists, but most importantly, these are the moments that remind us why we started and encourage us to keep going

We all experience hard things, we all have those uncomfortable moments when we want to stop and turn around. We want to give up. But I want to encourage you to keep going. Keep pushing yourself, because in the end, we only regret the things we didn’t do, the experiences we didn’t have, and the memories we didn’t make.
