It happened again: something minor escalated into a fight where neither you or your partner felt heard, and now both of you feel exasperated, exhausted, and disconnected. Why do we keep fighting?

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or invisible as a caregiver—or as a sibling of someone with special needs?
Living in a family impacted by special needs can be emotionally exhausting. Parents and caregivers often carry constant worry, guilt, and stress, while siblings may feel overlooked, confused, or pressured to “be the strong one.” Anxiety can quietly take over, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to cope.
I work with adults and teens, including parents, caregivers, and siblings of individuals with special needs, who are struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and burnout.
