Therapist for Caregivers in OC
Are you suffering from caregiver burnout and fatigue?
Are you losing sleep, energy, and time for yourself because you are caring for a parent, partner, or child? Are you taking care of an aging parent and it is becoming overwhelming? Are you trying manage and balance your life while caring for your loved one? Are you getting easily irritable from caregiver stress? Are you forgetting to eat and getting enough sleep? Do daily stressors feel like they are non-stop? Do you feel guilty for like you need more time for yourself and your own self-care? You are not alone. I understand how difficulty it can be as a primary caregiver to care for a loved one.
Caregiving means caring for others, whether friends or relatives, who have health problems or disabilities and need help. Caregivers provide many kinds of help to care receivers, from grocery shopping to helping with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Most people who need help from caregivers are elderly.

+ What is caregiver stress?
Caregiver stress is a daily fact of life for many caregivers. Caregiving often takes a great deal of time, effort, and work. Many caregivers struggle to balance caregiving with other responsibilities including full-time jobs and caring for children. Constant stress can lead to "burnout" and health problems for the caregiver. Caregivers may feel guilty, frustrated, and angry from time to time.
+ What can caregivers do to prevent stress and burnout?
Caregivers can call upon others for support and assistance. Other family members, friends, and neighbors may be able to help in different ways. It may not be easy to ask for help, and you may need to make very specific requests. Getting help from others will benefit you and the person you are caring for.
