Grab a seat and get your notebook out since you will want to write down some of the many inspirational quotes and pieces of advice from today's guest. We are happy to be joined by Dr. Deb Howell, a PT who has been dedicated to not only helping increase the wellness of her patients, but also educates other healthcare professionals on the importance of self-care and mental health. But first, we get to know Deb's personal journey from starting in the Navy, where she was introduced to the world of PT by a friend, to achieving her Bachelor's of PT while being a mom of two and commuting 100 miles a day. She discusses the personal fears and barriers she had to endure, on top of teachers that seemed to shut down her vision of becoming a PT. Deb shares her experience as a patient losing function after an injury led her to discover a PT that helped her regain physical function, and also opened her eyes to the importance of being PT who is present and listens to what the patient really needs. Despite all the hardships, Deb now discusses the meaning of being a clinician who can take care of themselves. This not only allows PT's to be a resource, but also an essential aspect to the improvement of their well-being and future selves. With years of personal experience, both a Bachelor of PT and a DPT, and a passion for self-care, take a seat as we take in all types of 2021 inspiration with Dr. Deb.
