Question 1 #OTalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@soleinj_ @OTalk_ I'd say it's about sharing (selective) elements of your life with your clients, as an example of a behaviour or as a bare minimum to demonstrate that you're human too! #OTalk

Hello folks! #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@soleinj_ @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ I would agree this definition. You summed it up perfectly. #otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@soleinj_ @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ Are there risks that sharing your values may be seen as judgmental if this differ significantly from your client's? #otalk

@soleinj_ @dmay_ot @OTalk_ I think for me- sometimes I might as well reveal to my clients that I am on Tedx talks (if they are interested in watching those). #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@dmay_ot @soleinj_ @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ I think it depends on the situation. We have to use our judgment and reading of social cues to find out. #otalk

@Emmi88OT @jwrightot @soleinj_ @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ This is a really good point. Like anything we need to clinically reason our self disclosure #otalk
Alexis @8alexisjoelle
It’s an interesting question as in order to build trust, we must be relatable in some fashion #Otalk

@HoneysuckleOt @soleinj_ @OTalk_ Although for me... I do hear that sometimes disclosing a diagnosis you have in a clinical setting might be deemed unprofessional. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@soleinj_ @otalk If it is travel experiences, for sure... especially when I hear what the patients used to do. But in terms of autism, I have to watch the context and what is happening during the treatment. #otalk
Alexis @8alexisjoelle
When it validates their feelings and experiences as well as need to build trust when there may be broken thoughts around that in the context #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@NickyP_OT @dmay_ot @soleinj_ @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ Sometimes that is hard where you are not the regular therapist and you have to treat the patient that day. #otalk

When working with children the same age as my kids I did refer to mine; it gave a common space to discuss the pros and cons of Little Mix vs ID and they were confident I'd know what flossing was should they want it as a goal. #otalk

@Emmi88OT @soleinj_ @KatrinaBannigan @jwrightot @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ @OTPlymouthUni @PIELRes I might be open on social media about having autism. But I keep it close to the vest with patients at the workplace. #otalk

@soleinj_ @otalk We also have the risk that because my patients are long term in a secure hospital, they become angry or jealous if we share personal information because they think we are rubbing it in that we have ‘freedom’.. it definitely depends on the patient #otalk

Speaking of disclosures... I think if I were in academia, that can be quite a benefit sometimes to disclose my diagnosis for some students. #OTalk
Steph @sstephla
@soleinj_ @otalk When I started I was told to self disclose to the bare minimum because of the potential risk placed on us. But since starting I feel I can judge what I should/shouldn’t share whilst still remaining human to my patients.. it’s really helped! #OTalk
Alexis @8alexisjoelle
Totally feel the same. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SophieD0T I think if I were a clinical instructor, it will be up to the student to choose what they disclose. But sometimes no disclosure can lead me to incorrect conclusions. #otalk

Yes. It allowed a client of mine to trust healthcare workers again. That they were “heard” #otalk

Guidance is important to improve throughout practice. Hard set rules should be no personal identification info like where live, phone number, FB username. Question we can ask is “will me bringing up this personal info allow my clients to become more independent?” #otalk

@musedNeuroOT @RachaelD_OT @soleinj_ @otalk That's why I finally adopted my husband's surname when I started training. Mine is fairly uncommon. In my work name you can see that I do sport. Anything involving an opinion or my family is firmly hidden away in other idents! #otalk

We had a convo recently about clients being allowed to video sessions or not. Talk about self disclosure on record! Thoughts about that? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
If you are lucky enough to be featured in public (e.g findable on YouTube), in a sense, you indirectly could be sign up for disclosure to general public and your potential patients can look you up. #otalk
Alexis @8alexisjoelle
Yep! You have to be comfortable sharing with the world when you do #Otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@soleinj_ @sarahwoodOT @otalk Self-disclosure has come up a couple of times on #otalk It was certainly a key element of a supervision discussion on my paeds placement at the start of the year. It's not formally taught but is potentially better with some kind of context.
