In this New PossibilOTs podcast episode, hosts Mahek Bansal and Larissa Ferrari candidly explore the challenges faced by occupational therapists (OTs), aiming to validate their shared experiences across different levels and settings. They discuss the emotional impact of their profession, detailing what constitutes a “good” or “bad” day, and sharing personal anecdotes about unexpected challenges in sessions, issues outside of your control as an OT, and administrative tasks such as report writing.
Mahek and Larissa offer practical well-being strategies and tips, including seeking support from colleagues, maintaining work-life balance, and embracing flexibility in session planning. With transparency and humour, Mahek and Larissa create a relatable space for OTs to reflect on their professional journey.
