Being an OT
“So what do you do?”
I'm an OT. “Oh” I hear you say
You know what that means.
Well it's often difficult to explain, But that O to me is the perfect place to begin.
I like to call myself the O Therapist. I help people find there O moment, (p1)

You know that moment in between,
That moment when you’re faced with an Occupational problem,
That's daily Activities to you and me.
The many ways you tried ways to solve it and just couldn't see.
That's when O T Therapy begins.
I ask you about your day,
You’re Story.(p2)

(P3)
That’s when you light up,
O the memories.
Together we take a walk on your life's journey,
And how this dis - ease is not the end,
Its a New beginning.
I'm that one that helps to find the "O I see" solution,
That grab rail,
That structure or routine.

P4)
Structure or routine
That new way of thinking or strategy.
“So who do you work with?”
Everybody
“Everybody”
Everybody
And no I'm not based in Occ. health or just do I just, basket weave.
I specialise in optimising Function, Mental Heath and well being.

P5
Oh wow, what you do sounds amazing” O it is to me.
That I get to share so many O moments,
O struggles, O pain,
O Laughter, O Rio
And all that’s O in-between.
Now you know what an O T is
Everyday, that’s what I get to be.
