Have you read?...
Understanding 'Dark' Occupations - by @Keir Harding
"If you feel that alcoholics should just stop drinking, agoraphobics should just go out more or anorexics should just have a McDonalds, this probably isn’t the article for you. I’m going to try and explain how to make sense of why people do things that aren’t obviously in their best interests."
Just read it. I guess it would be useful to people new to the MH setting, but it seems a bit obvious to me. Surely as health practitioners, and particularly as OTs, who take a holistic view, it doesn't need saying that we should be non-judgemental, empathic and curious?
Or maybe I'm being a bit harsh?! 🤔
