#188 Aphasia Caregiver Boundaries Start Before You Answer

#188 Aphasia Caregiver Boundaries Start Before You Answer

You already know what your mother-in-law is going to say before you even pick up. You know she's going to ask if he's eating enough. You know she's going to mention the therapy he missed. You know it's going to land like criticism even when it sounds like concern. And you know that no matter what you say it won't be enough.

Your shoulders are already up. Your jaw is already tight. Your stomach already dropped the second you saw her name on the screen.

That is not anxiety. That is your nervous system telling you something your mind keeps ignoring.

In this episode Genevieve walks through what's really happening in your body before you answer, what it costs you and your person when you pick up depleted, and what one boundary sounds like in real words you can use today.

This one is practical. You will leave with words you can use this week.
