What Caregivers Feel Guilty About (But Shouldn't)

from Dementia Careblazers

Many caregivers feel guilty about things they shouldn't...asking for help, taking time for themselves, even going to a doctor's appointment. In this video, I share real examples of why caregivers feel guilty, what that guilt does to your health, and how to finally let go of it. I'll show you why guilt shows up, how to recognize when your mind is being too harsh, and one simple shift that can help you release it. You deserve grace and compassion just as much as your loved one does. What's one thing you've felt guilty about as a caregiver that, looking back, you know you didn't need to?
