You can love someone deeply and still feel overwhelmed by what caring for them requires. Work through ongoing responsibility, exhaustion, guilt, resentment, anticipatory grief, family disagreements, difficult decisions, and maintaining a life of your own.
Caregiver Stress
ONLINE THERAPY FOR CAREGIVER STRESS
Approach
I’ll work with you on immediate caregiving demands: organizing priorities, preparing family conversations, making difficult decisions, setting realistic limits, and identifying where additional assistance is needed.
But practical changes can feel impossible when another person’s distress feels like your responsibility, or making room for yourself feels disloyal. We examine these emotional obligations and the roles you’ve come to occupy, so you can make future decisions with greater clarity while caring for someone whose needs may continue to change.
Questions about this work.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
-
We can work within the realities of your situation, identifying where choices exist and how to reduce unnecessary emotional and practical demands.
-
Affection and resentment can coexist, especially when care involves sustained demands and limited choice. Both feelings deserve attention.
-
Yes. We can focus on family disagreements, care arrangements, communicating with providers, or decisions involving a loved one’s changing needs.
Check your payment options before scheduling.
Caregiving can make every decision feel like a choice between someone you love and your own life. I’ll help you distinguish what their care actually requires from what guilt or family expectations have added, so you can set realistic limits, make difficult decisions, and continue having a life of your own.
