Using your “gut” and best instinct can sometimes take you
very far in life! Within the profession of occupational therapy this is known as
clinical reasoning. Clinical reasoning involves figuring out how to address
client issues and interventions by evaluating the clients. This takes both
thinking and feeling to make the proper decision for the client. There are
several different types of clinical reasoning: scientific, procedural,
narrative, interactive, pragmatic, ethical, and conditional. However, the end
goal is the same for all – providing the foundation for making choices and
helping improve client’s ability to function and engaging in occupations. Clinical
reasoning is important in occupational therapy because we want to keep the
client safe and happy. I’m not sure about you, but my “gut” feeling is always
there when I’m stuck in a dilemma and it is usually right! So don't ignore the gut because the body is a powerful intuitive communicator.
I 100% that your gut instinct is ALWAYS right!!!! I like that you said that your body is a powerful intuitive communicator
ReplyDeleteI love this Kiera! I know your gut instinct is always right, but it's the matter of going with it that's the problem for me!! Half the time, my head says one thing, my heart says another thing, and then my gut just says the complete opposite!
