Did you alos became an occupational therapist because I cared?

But along the way, I discovered something no one had ever told me—when you care deeply, you also hurt deeply. 

I wanted to offer compassionate care and still find fulfillment in my work, yet the constant pressure of productivity, documentation, and emotional strain began to feel impossible to juggle.  I burned out because I cared.

The truth is, I simply wasn’t prepared to navigate the complex emotions of being an OT. 

Over time, I learned how to navigate my internal environment—the thoughts, emotions, and discomfort that come with caring.

As I built this skill set, something shifted: the same tools that helped me handle stress also transformed how I supported my clients. 

I began empowering them to face their fears, move through emotional barriers, and reclaim function in ways I hadn’t imagined possible.
