Support, Education and new mindsets  can help.Guests: Jeff Zuckerman, author of Unglued: A Bipolar Love Story - https://www.jeffzuckerman.com/ and Annie Jaeger, wellness coach and NAMI  Family Support Group facilitator - https://www.anniejaeger.com/Link to support group:https://heypeers.com/meetings/44205/detailsScroll down for Lisa Wexler show linksWe ask:1. What do you see as the differences between being married to someone with a serious mental illness compared to the parent of someone with a mental illness.2. How have your children been affected by your spouse's mental illness, and how do you navigate your role as both spouse and partner in that regard?3. How do you set boundaries (a whole podcast in itself, no doubt) for yourself without guilt or shame? (Which can be a discussion about self-care.)4. Since you co-facilitate one of the few support groups for partners of those with a mental illness, tell us about the benefits of support groups.Lisa Wexler Links https://www.instagram.com/lisawexler.radio/https://www.lisawexler.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-trumps-plan-to-help-the-mentally-ill-good/id1063388065?i=1000721737436https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-new-drug-could-revolutionize-treating-mental-health/id1063388065?i=1000718001577Also LISA on the LAW segmentsThanks for liking and sharing the podcast! Mindy and her book: https://mindygreiling.com/Randye and her book: https://randyekaye.com/Miriam and her book: https://www.miriam-feldman.com/ Support the showPlease share and support the podcast so we can reach more people who need the info and support.Want to know more?Join our facebook page  Our websites:Randye KayeMindy Greiling Miriam (Mimi) Feldman
