Self-Care is a Critical Part of Being a Great Occupational Therapist!

A fresh, authentic approach to self care!

Do you remember playing the childhood game "Red Light. Green Light" on the playground? In her fresh, fun book, Dr. Aimee Ketchum uses the familiar game as a springboard to help all OTs reclaim who they are so they can deliberately reflect and be the best they can be!

“This book is for any OT who has felt stressed out and overwhelmed. It’s time to take action and steps to care for yourself, just like you take care of your clients. There has never been a better time than right now! Read this book, engage in reﬂection, and nourish your body and soul. You won’t regret it.”
-Dr. Anne Zachry, Author of Retro Baby and Retro Toddler

SEE Occupational Therapists Run Addresses the Challenges. (These are just a few!)

I work in a closet. Limited Resources

Limited supply and all patients have to share. A NICU follow-up clinic would be great for the babies, but the hospital doesn’t have the space. Improvise. Condense. Adapt.

Oh, my achin’ back! Physical Health

I carried two hula hoops, three large buckets, and two five-pound weights up three flights of stairs today to make an obstacle course in a kindergarten classroom...

Long hours. Evenings. Weekends. Holidays. Mountains of work.

I missed my daughter’s ballet recital because we cannot find weekend coverage for in-patient... I drive an hour one way to the trauma hospital every day....

This Baby Might Not Make it. The Emotional Toll

Louis can't drive anymore and he is going to be devastated... Three-year-old Robbie needs another open-heart-surgery so we will not be learning to ride his tricycle today as I planned...

Ideal for New OTs and OT students!

A great way for seasoned therapists to reflect on your career and goals!

Makes a great gift! Show an OT that you care about their health and well-being!

Perfect Workbook for Occupational Therapy Students!

Should be Required Reading For All Occupational Therapy Students!

Are you feeling Burnout or Betrayal?
by Aimee Ketchum
It may not be burnout. It may be betrayal. Remind yourself daily that you are stuck in something much larger than you. This is a situation that no amount of lavender aromatherapy is going to solve. There is no easy fix when the larger system has betrayed us.
