Therapeutic Relationship

I think therapeutic relationship is vital in being an effective OT. Learning about the different qualities in class made me think more about successful OTs I know and how they have the majority of those qualities. I also enjoyed learning about the steps in active listening. I feel that active listening is such an important quality for anyone to have so they can relate to clients, friends, and family. Active listening plays an important role in the interview process with the client because you need to really listen and pay attention to the client's story in order to correctly create the proper treatment. I enjoyed our last lecture because it allows us to reflect on qualities that we display well, and some qualities that we may need to work on.
