Peter founded Lifestyle Awareness after working as a Senior Occupational Therapist for 18 years in all areas of Mental Health. Over the years he began to question and wonder if it was possible to work with people much earlier than in crisis and what early intervention and prevention may actually look like. As part of his own wellness path, he realised that one of the things that impact all areas of life, performance and mental well-being, is our mind, yet most of us are never taught how to use our minds properly in a practical and evidenced based way. This development of key mental skills for mental fitness is a topic we unpack in today's episode. Clinically Peter has worked at South London & Maudsley (SLAM), Saint John of God Hospital, Saint Patrick's Hospital and The Dean Clinic and continues to be a trainer with Mental Health First Aid Ireland. Peter's mission is to empower ten million people to learn the mental skills to stay well, navigate change and uncertainty, so they can then support and teach others to do the same. We hope you enjoy our episode.

The research we discuss on the OT Potential Podcast has a recurring theme: therapy goals should always support what is meaningful to the client.But, lurking behind this best practice is an important question: what do we do when a patient is not of sound mind?We'll explore an article that hits the question head on, looking at client-centered care for patients with psychosis. It's an especially helpful read for mental health OTs—but we can all learn something from it, since every clinician sees clients whose decision making could be perceived as impaired.The takeaway from this article is that we can always find ways to be client-centered. And, it's worth making the effort to do so, since it always seems to improve patient engagement and outcomes.To help us unpack this article, it is our privilege to welcome Lauren Jones, MS, OTR/L.  Lauren currently works on an interdisciplinary team as a Senior Occupational Therapist, providing services to youth, adults, and older adults in an inpatient psychiatry setting. Together, we will discuss practical strategies for keeping your interventions client-centered, regardless of your treatment setting(s).In order to earn credit for this course, you must take the test within the OT Potential Club.You can find more details on this course here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-courses/client-centered-otHere's the primary research we are discussing:Moritz, S., Berna, F., Jaeger, S., Westermann, S., &; Nagel, M.

— Millions of people suffer from orthopedic conditions that call for therapeutic interventions, ranging from chronic low-level discomfort to pain that stops you in your tracks. Over the years, I've observed that with physical and emotional discomfort, we subtly adjust our life around our deficit. If our knee hurts, we take the stairs less frequently. If our back hurts, it affects how we sit down and stand up. Sciatica and chronic knee pain are perfect examples of this. Sometimes, when recovering from an injury, it is essential to do this so as not to reinjure ourselves. Other times, discomfort eclipses previously enjoyable activities because they have become too difficult. Before we know it, our ongoing discomfort has limited our ability to fully participate in life. Yoga Bones offers condition-based yoga therapy for readers to design their own home practice, to heal pain, and to increase life engagement. Valeria Teles interviews Laura Staton — the author of “Yoga Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to Managing Pain and Orthopedic Injuries through Yoga.” Laura Staton holds a master's degree of Science in Occupational Therapy from NYU and is a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist specializing in injury rehabilitation. She works as a Senior Occupational Therapist at a Northwell Health teaching hospital and is the co-author of Baby Om -Yoga for Mothers & Babies. Laura is passionate about yoga's powerful effect on physical and emotional well-being, and how this interacts with daily life. For many years, she was a dancer and choreographer in NYC and received her BFA from The Juilliard School.  To learn more about Laura Staton and her work, please visit: https://www.laurastaton.com/     — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well.
