Emotional Check-In for Caregivers of Lewy Body Dementia

Today, I delve into the nuanced differences between "how are you doing?" and "how are you feeling?" This conversation is vital for caregivers like us who often mask our true emotions. But first, let's talk self-care. With the first snow here, I cozied up with a warm blanket, a book, and tea for half a day - a much-needed pause. Throughout this episode, I share insights from a pivotal discussion with my therapist, examining how acknowledging our feelings and recognizing our caregiving efforts can coexist, leading to profound self-awareness and appreciation. Tune in for practical tips and heartfelt encouragement as we navigate the caregiving journey together.
