Combatting Caregiver Burnout (Abridged Version)

Whether noticing signs of anger or feeling overwhelmed with no help, understanding caregiver burnout is vital to combating its effects. That is why therapist and social worker, Lindsey Pace, became focused on helping those feeling caregiver burnout after working closely with folks caring for terminal family members. She counsels caregivers on how to recognize the signs of burnout, defuse the related stress with movement or mindfulness, and employ self-care tactics to find the joy in caregiving. Adjusting to major life changes can be difficult, but through strength and resilience, the  opportunities for growth and bonding with a loved one are never-ending. This episode is a shorter version of our conversation with Lindsey made for a shorter walk. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
