Easy to use Tools to Balance Caregiving, Stress, anxiety, and Sanity

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed in your

caregiving role? You're not alone.

As a caregiver myself, I've faced those panic moments too. Caring for an aging parent or frail spouse can put us on an emotional rollercoaster, even if we're strong!

In this week’s episode of Eldercare Success, I get real about caregiver stress and anxiety. I'll share some practical and easy-to-use tools, that I even use to cope when things feel like they're getting out of my control or ability to cope. These simple techniques can help you tap into your inner strength and find some calm when you need it most.

I'll also discuss when it makes sense to seek professional help, and times when an hour with a therapist only adds more stress. This is for all of us trying to balance caregiving with everything else on our plates.

You don't have to struggle through this time alone and without support. I can’t wait for you to join me, Nancy May in this next episode of Eldercare Success.
