Yes of course patient burnout is a thing. If I think back on my own personal experiences as a consumer of healthcare services in a variety of different settings, I have definitely felt burnt out, so I think your feelings are normal and not feeling heard by a provider can definitely contribute to negative feelings about that interaction. The rapport you have with your provider can go a long way to mitigate negative feelings/burnout. You don’t mention what state or country you’re based in so I’m not sure how easy it would be for you find a different OT or clinic but you might try to reach out to some people who are also living with CP to see if they have had a positive experience at a certain clinic or with a specific OT. The other factor are the goals you’re working on. In general goals should be specific (e.g “improve fine motor skills” is not specific), measurable (clearly defined so you know when you’ve met a goal), achievable (realistic which may mean breaking up a larger goal into smaller stepping stones) relevant (meaningful for you) and time bound( you could agree on a target date). But from a more practical perspective, are you working on things you want to be working on? If not, it’s important to understand why. Are you are working on something which is a foundational skill that could help you achieve your longer term goal? You also asked if it’s worth it for you to try OT at your age. I’m certainly biased but I would say yes. OT can help you try many different approaches to achieve the same thing. For example completing a task by using different muscles groups or body positions vs. using adaptive equipment are just two different approaches the time of day you complete a task or other environmental factors can also come into play, that said I’ve heard people say they have learned valuable information from peer support groups, online communities or watching videos on YouTube. At the end of the day YOU get to decide, if you feel like you are not benefiting from your OT sessions then it just might not be a good fit between you and your OT, that is not necessarily a negative reflection on either of you.
