You never know what will be waiting for you on the other side of the door. Every day his dementia seems to get worse. Yesterday he thought you were an old student of his. Today he doesn't recognize you at all. You lay in bed at night consumed with worry. You spend so much time and energy on your father that the rest of your life is being neglected. You see your family less. Work assignments are falling through the cracks. It fills you with guilt but sometimes you think about how much easier life would be if you didn't have to care for your dad.
I've helped hundreds of caregivers build resilience to deal with caring for a parent. I can help you too. Together we'll practice adaptive thinking and develop practical strategies to relieve your daily stress. Let's tap into your strengths, examine your attributes and identify ways to create a buffer so you don't always feel you’re at the end of your rope.
It's time to process the complex emotions you're grappling with, gain confidence in your ability to care for your loved ones and yourself. Reconnect with the people who mean the most to you. Experience more moments of joy, greater balance and lasting peace of mind. You deserve more. Call me now for your free consultation and let's get started today.
