"To help patients that are struggling with stress, I look back on a great seminar I attended during my Master's program and think about how these techniques help me in my personal life. The seminar talked about how studies have shown that artistic endeavors like music, painting, drawing or even cooking help people dealing with a lot of stress ease that burden. These are techniques I would look to use with my patients."

Your patients may suffer from sleep dysfunction, stress, be unable to manage their pain or fatigue, experience decreased the range of motion, depression and even anxiety. As an Occupational Therapist, you educate your patients on healthy living and exercises to improve their quality of life. Tell the interviewer about a patient suffering from stress and what tools you gave them to become healthier.

" As a Therapist, I encourage health management behaviors such as smoking cessation, reduced caffeine intake, a balanced diet, and adequate exercise. When my patients apply these changes in their life they will notice their stress level will decrease."
