Dementia Caregiver Support for Christians: Tips for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Caregivers to Manage Stress, Prevent Burnout & Handle Difficult Behaviors

131. How Do Dementia Caregivers Contribute To Their Caregiving Woes?


Listen Later

Are you contributing to your own caregiver woes?

Have you ever wondered if you're making your caregiving journey harder than it needs to be? In this episode, we explore how caregivers might unknowingly contribute to their own challenges and how to turn things around for a smoother journey.

Emotional Awareness and Control

Caregivers often forget the impact their emotions have on those they care for. People with dementia are highly intuitive and can sense your stress, anger, or frustration. Maintaining emotional control is crucial.

Before entering a caregiving situation, take a moment to check your emotional state. Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flows the springs of life." By being aware of your emotions, you can create a calmer environment for your loved one

 

Caring for someone with dementia is challenging, but by being mindful of your emotions, shifting your mindset, seeking help, and embracing gratitude, you can improve your caregiving journey. Remember, you are not alone. Reach out for support, stay connected with your faith, and find joy in the little moments.

Join us next time as we explore ways to stop family conflicts in dementia caregiving. And don’t forget, you can sign up for our 'Ask the Dementor' monthly meetup for personalized guidance and support.
