Showerthought: the OT who worked with my dad after his stroke taught me more in 20 minutes than any class did
She sat with him in the rehab gym at Mercy General in Sacramento and had him reach for a plastic cup on a shelf for 15 minutes straight, and when he got mad she just said "your brain needs reps, not perfection." I keep that line in my head now when a patient at my own clinic gets frustrated over slow progress. Anyone else pick up a phrase from a mentor or therapist that still sticks with you?
