quest for knowledge nosedive
Fear grips me - corners me and asks "surely you should know what to do?"
After studying for four years I certainly don't know it all - the old saying "the more you know the more you realise how little you know" is oh so painfully true. It wrecks havoc with my perfectionist character and is given life by my fear of asking.
I went to this seminar today presented by Dr Sally Hartley, here is a link to the Disability dialogue newsletter which highlights the focus of her work. Community-based rehabilitation utilises the existing knowledge/skills of the client/ community. i.e. the knowledge we have as professionals can only be relevant when integrated into the 'lived-experience'.
As I sat there listening my logic and self-knowledge integrated into a realisation that I don't need to know it all - just be open to learning.

That sounds very insightfull and reassuring. I'm still waiting for my 'lightbulb' moment, I'm really struggling with my lack of expertise.

I still don't have a clue, shoobs, but finding our identity in Christ is first and foremost and then establishing ourselves as an OT - well they may change a few times bu thankfully we can adapt and rediscover - better then a 9 - 5 hum drum - i know what i will be doing for the rest of my life, blah blah.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
