The Empowered Caregiver

Couples In Caregiving

Today, I talk with Marriage Therapist Robin Schnitzler, founder of Relationship Therapy of Madison. Robin sees couples throughout the state of Wisconsin. She has the caregiver role for her daughter and brother with complex needs and her mother, who is living with dementia, so she knows a thing or two about the impacts of caregiving on relationships! Today, we will discuss the tools you can use to have successful conversations, how couples therapy works, how to gain awareness in your own body to help you in your relationships, and how past trauma can show up in your conversations.

All About Forgiveness

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and one of the most important ways to support your mental health is to learn about the power of forgiveness.  Tim Markle from The Forgiveness Factor will discuss how forgiveness can occur daily in your caregiving journey. We also talk about how forgiveness is critical in healing past trauma.  This is a must-listen-to episode if you want to learn how to be a more successful caregiver!  Guest: Tim Markle [https://civicmedia.us/profile/tim-markle/]
