003 – Reflecting on Reflection

06/12/18 • 25 min

Every now and then a small thing happens during my day triggers some much more extensive thoughts/reflections (ironic right?). Discussing with my Occupational Therapy students about the importance of reflection got me thinking about my personal journey towards developing this SUPER IMPORTANT skill. I discuss a bit about my experience of finally realising how amazing this skillset can be and some tips about when and how you can start implementing it. If you enjoy it and know someone else who could do with some tips on reflection than feel free to share this podcast with them! Keep occupied Brock [email protected] @brockcookOT

002 – Occupation based Pediatrics with the Rocket OT

Simone contacted me on Reddit following the release of Occupied episode 001 saying she wrote a blog called the Rocket OT and had created a visual that "demonstrates how regulation develops and is affected depending on environment/occupation". After having a chat it was clear that Simone and myself were on similar wavelengths so how could I not have a chat with her and learn more about her occupation perspectives and her story. We delved into a tonne of topics including OT's and the drift away from occupation, professional identity, sensory modulation as well as Simone's very own Occupation based pediatric resources. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed having the discussion! Follow Simone's work here: https://www.facebook.com/rocketot/ Keep occupied Brock [email protected] @brockcookOT

This episode I delved into the world of the New Graduate Occupational Therapist!! I had the pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Dominic Lloyd-Randolfi to hear about his journey into Occupational Therapy including his involvement with www.NewgradOccupationalTherapy.com NewGradOT is an amazing blog resource for new graduates containing an amazing array of information with the aim of helping new graduates navigate the (often scary) transition into the profession. We had a chat about his transition from student to practitioner, sex as an occupation, made some comparisons between American health care and Australia’s as well as (OF COURSE) provide some tips for new grad therapists to help make the transition to practice a much smoother and more productive one.
