Nobody really knows what an occupational therapist does, even the therapists themselves are not altogether clear.
It may involve prescribing over toilet aids to old people, cajoling unco-ordinated children into completing sensory-motor activities, fighting off physical therapists who also claim to treat upper limb injuries and dealing with cranky night-shift nurses who are jealous they did not choose an alllied health profession.
Among the most over-worked and beleaguered of the helping professions, occupational therapists tend to get stuck dealing with the problems that even the social workers can't solve.

Get the NLP Therapistmug. A person (mainly teenagers) who is the “Therapist” of the friend group that they are in. Most therapist friends end up being assigned that role unwillingly after one to many vents being told and their response being help. Sadly, most therapist friends suffer with their mental health but have no one to go to because they are the person people go to.
Sometimes, Therapist friends want to say no when you ask to vent, but they’ll feel bad if they do so they say yes.
