#189 Aphasia Care Partner Boundaries — Stop the Energy Drain Before the Door

#189 Aphasia Care Partner Boundaries — Stop the Energy Drain Before the Door

You let your mother-in-law's call go to voicemail because you had nothing left and you couldn't listen to her criticism about how you care for your husband, her son, who has aphasia.

Now she’s standing at your front door with a casserole and an opinion about everything.

If you’ve ever avoided the hard conversation only to have that emotional energy show up at your door anyway, this episode is for you.

Genevieve talks through the high cost of an unannounced visit—it’s not just an inconvenience for you; it's a neurological event for your person with aphasia that can take days to undo.

Learn why care partners avoid the boundary until it's too late and get the exact script to draw the line before it becomes a confrontation at the front door.

Plus, get a first look at the Stoplight System inside Before You Answer, a framework built specifically for aphasia care partners so you always have the words ready.

Know what you will say in a variety of situations BEFORE they happen. Buy Before You Answer before that next phone call arrives: https://tinyurl.com/BeforeYouAnswer
