How are you perceived as an OT?
===
[00:00:00] How you are perceived as an experienced therapist or not is based on the perception that you give off. For example, if you want to be looked at as someone with X, you know, X skills, you have to give off that vibe as if you know X skills through your communication and through your demonstration. So if you're a patient or coworker, think you don't have the experience.
Ask yourself, are you putting out that vibe through what you're saying, how you're saying it, and through your lack of confidence in your demonstration, if you point the finger at yourself, then you have the ability to enhance and change. But if you think it's always them, it's your patients. They don't like you.
It's your coworkers. They don't respect you. It's your OT profession. It's shitty. You can't control or change any of that. So what happens is you end up just feeling shitty and frustrated. So you get to decide how to respond and how to improve. So if [00:01:00] you want to change how others see you or perceive you, then you have to change how you perceive yourself first.
