“I know now that I can do this…
perhaps you don’t need to come as often!”
(referring to a return to work programme)
“Wow, I forgot that I set that as a goal.

(referring to a smartphone strategy)
“It feels good to know that you understand where I’m coming from.”
“Let me tell you how I’m affected by fatigue…”
(lightbulb moment after many sessions of fatigue management work. Truly empowered, and now educating the OT!)
“I was able to hold a fork in my hand yesterday. While eating!”
(after sensory re-education)
