Kary Gillenwaters serves as a community-based OT and the SOLACE Foundation director of support and community engagement. Eeleven years ago, the birth of Kary's first child resulted in her becoming a member of a club no one signs up for or anticipates. At the time, little to no support was available online, health care teams had little experience with serious obstetrical tears, and the lack of understanding and meaningful support made an already difficult life transition even more challenging. But as many of the members of this club have learned, these experiences are more common than we think-it's just that it's all too painful (and sometimes embarrassing) to talk about, so we don't. The silence and isolation that so often follow a severe obstetric laceration exacerbate the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual challenges people face, overnight, not just to their body, but to their roles, their relationships, and their identity.SOLACE Foundation: https://www.solaceforwomen.org/Raising awareness of severe obstetric lacerations by promoting prevention through maternal education and research, driving change toward a standard of care, and providing women with comprehensive support through their healing journeys.Kary's 4th Degree Care Story: https://solidagovc.com/blog/the-impact-of-birth-injuries-interprofessional-teaming-and-informed-consent-on-the-occupations-of-motherhood

Shifting Perspectives and Supporting Neurodivergent OTs

Description: In this episode of the Engaging Occupational Science Podcast, the conversation delves into the importance of shifting perspectives within the occupational therapy (OT) community.

Mindfully Navigating Cultivation of a Non-Traditional Inclusive Learning Community w/ Taylor Wilmont, AMFT

Season 1 · Episode 9

Tuesday, June 27, 2023 • Duration 01:16:49

Send us a text

Taylor Wilmot, AMFT brings in to this dialog a lens developed as an active student in non-traditional learning environments cultivated since 2007. She offers a lens as emerging practice mental health counselor with an educational background that focused on developing skills to support multicultural approaches to counseling.

It's normal to feel emotions like grief, anger, and confusion when our worldview is challenged by something new. In order to support ourselves and others through this process, we should allow space for feeling without judgment, try to recognize and validate our emotions, and seek towards expression and exploration.

1. Josie and Taylor both went to an interdisciplinary college and are now working as therapists in different fields.

2. They discuss the challenges and benefits of learning in an educational community that is intentionally non-hierarchical.

3. They are exploring how different modes of learning can be used to benefit the inclusion, well-being, and empowerment of diverse humans.

Josie and Taylor discuss the challenges of creating a safe space for emotional expression in an online learning environment. They note that it is important to be aware of the difference between emotions and information and that emotional reactions are not necessarily acts of violence. They also suggest that it is important to be prepared for the possibility that people may show up in a state of hyperarousal and that it is important to have grace for those who are in that state.

The scapegoating dynamic can lead to a blind spot in terms of understanding the full problem and potential solutions. It can also create a sense of division within a group.

It can be helpful to think about your own culture and how it might be different from the dominant culture when you are trying to learn about and be sensitive to other cultures. It is also important to be curious and humble when asking questions about other cultures.

This conversation between Josie and Taylor is about the importance of approaching education with an openness to all different types of perspectives, and the role that educators can play in de-institutionalizing some of the harmful beliefs that are perpetuated in society. They discuss how everyone has a role to play in creating a more just and equitable world, and how we can all learn from each other by engaging in dialogue and critical inquiry.Supplementary Learning Referenced in Guest Interview (20EP)Supplementary Learning Referenced in Guest Interview (20EP)Information on Hyperarousal and Zone of Tolerance https://www.nicabm.com/trauma-how-to-help-your-clients-understand-their-window-of-tolerance/Information on Victim-Rescuer-Perpetrator Triangle https://www.heatherhayes.com/overcoming-the-drama-triangle/Information on Scapegoatinghttps://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2022/07/19/scapegoating-causes-reasons/Self-Reflection Excercise: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZIhR1t8qlkfEXn077fSJ8qSeeNGPgu3RxvfhSaqPIOo/copy

One of the core themes of this module is contextualizing the inseparable connection we have as OTs to the history of the United States and the opportunity we have today to author our legacy and to expand and repattern the legacies of our past foundation to be an active part of constructive change and multilayered intergenerational healing. This discussion highlights how the Arts and Crafts movement can be connected to navigating contemporary social challenges and how OTs can practically build partnerships with community stakeholders such as the Social Justice Sewing Academy and use artistic expression and occupation as a medium to build connections across differences and repair divisions, and harm brought about through system injustice and marginalization. Today we as OTPs have the opportunity to connect to, build off of, and expand the legacy of resistance, resilience, and repair we have inherited in response to current challenges.
