Oh yes! I think my wonder is whether I will have confidence in my abilities. I'm on a great placement and it has been incredibly nuturing for me and I feel my confidence increasing every day, but actually becoming an OT my confidence becomes a little shaky!
I think its good that we all question our abilities, it makes us aware of our practice. I hope Ron, that you have good support and someone to ground you when your worries become too big. I always remember a day when I was an OTA that I was doing lots of work and for once feeling I would like a thank you. The following day all I got were thank yous! It just made up for all the rubbish days I had when I felt that I couldn't do anything right. As humans we are so good at looking at the negative, but always forget the positive. We are always going to have the tough patient/client or the even tougher patient/clients family, we are going to have more days thankless days than thank yous, but I love the fact that I'm training to become an OT and that I'm thankful for!
