In this episode, we're diving into something every occupational therapy student and new grad encounters—feedback. That word alone can bring up a mix of emotions, right? Sometimes it’s a confidence boost, other times it feels like a punch to the gut. But here's the truth: learning how to receive, reflect on, and act on feedback is one of the most powerful skills you’ll carry into your practice.

In this episode, we’ll unpack the three types of feedback using Proctor’s model of supervision—formative (learning and skill development), restorative (supporting your wellbeing), and normative (ensuring safe, ethical practice). We’ll break it down with real-world OT examples and practical ways to turn feedback into your forward momentum.

Whether you're on placement, in supervision, or about to step into your first job, this episode is your guide to making feedback work for you—not against you.

Let’s reframe feedback from fear to fuel—together.
