What a beautiful way to remember your cat! It’s so hard losing a fur baby! After my dog passed away, I did a painting of her too 🥹

What are y’all doing to maintain your mental health these days? I want to know. I’ll go first… I go surfing and I play volleyball with a lovely group of ladies (we’re not too shabby either). #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #selfcare

Me too! One time on a report card from my 1st grade teacher she wrote that “Michelle likes to practice her social skills” 🤣 I’m 41 now and I still remember that - kind of strengths based way to say I talk a lot 😁

I 2nd this from an OT/neuro perspective! They’ve expended brain energy for 6-7 hours already that day and then to come home and be asked open ended questions to synthesize all the info can be overwhelming! Specific questions can be extremely helpful!

Made a BLT with tomatoes and lettuce from my garden for dinner 🤤 I was gonna take a pic but I accidentally ate it first 👀

Two things I love: bread and surfing 🤣

I’ve heard the term “compassion fatigue” and have even experienced it myself. Today I learned the term “compassion satisfaction” which hit with me! Helping others to succeed in their mental health and life goals is so satisfying!

This makes me so sad and mad, in a long list of things that just keep coming that make me sad and mad!

Meet Ginger 😍 she’s either judging me or plotting my demise (or both, probably both) with this look 🤣

It’s so cringe every time he refers to the “beautiful 11 year old baby girls” I physically recoil 🤮

What an incredible experience to be a co-author of a chapter for the new edition of occupational therapy for mental health textbook! Kinda wild to see my name in a book 😱

Some days you gotta call in well and go surfing!🏄‍♀️

Can I add a fourth pillar of engaging in meaningful occupations!?! In other words, do things that bring you joy, are meaningful, are fun, provide connection with others, etc. Intentionally make time for these kinds of activities to feed your soul 🫶

Am I actually going to fix it today 🤷‍♀️ but once I do, imma be ready because I guess I have a plan!! 😆🛠️

Dr. Michelle O. @otdmichelle.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Tell me why was I wide awake at 5:30am this Saturday morning and immediately my brain says, Michelle you know that hole in the drywall that’s been there for like 7 years? well you need to make a mental plan for fixing it and now seems like a fantastic time to do that.

Anyone need a calming sunset picture to relax your nervous system!?!

This is terrifying and so deeply personal for me and so many others!! 😠😒

Predictive processing as one theory of understanding related to PTSD, anxiety, depression and psychosis is really interesting to learn about too! Over simplified, how our past experiences impact our expectations/understanding of current and future actual and perceived events.

Dr. Michelle O. @otdmichelle.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

🤞 well I hope your search for a new, trauma informed psychiatrist goes well! Because trust, compassion and connection are so important 🫶

I’m so sorry that was said to you! That’s not okay 😕

Not only in resistance but also in recovery. The profession of occupational therapy was born during WWI and used arts and crafts to help soldiers with shell shock (PTSD) stay occupied through use of arts and crafts. It can be healing to find meaning thru the things we do!

I love to paint, but for the life of me, struggle to find my own style. So, for now, I see something I like and try to recreate it and it is so fun! Here are a couple that my spouse, who loves to skate, asked me to do (logos from skate brands/adds)…

The chaos of the current regime has us playing wack-a-mole trying to keep up, but we also need to seriously address issues with GOP purging voter rolls and challenging thousands of votes. Check out the work by investigative journalist Greg Palast. This needs more attn! www.gregpalast.com
