Abstract
[Resumen] Esta editorial reflexiona sobre el pensamiento paralelo como un recurso valioso en terapia ocupacional, destacando cómo soluciones e ideas pueden surgir inesperadamente mientras las personas participan en sus actividades cotidianas. Se explora desde un enfoque psicológico y filosófico, vinculando la creatividad y la práctica profesional y se incorpora una experiencia personal que ejemplifica cómo la mente sigue trabajando “en segundo plano”. Además, se destaca la importancia de reconocer la influencia de este proceso en la participación, el bienestar y la autonomía de las personas. La pieza también incluye un guiño a la colega que inspiró la idea, mostrando cómo la colaboración y la reflexión compartida enriquecen la disciplina y la investigación.
