157. 5 Quick Tips for Managing Anger and Aggression in Dementia Care
Are you struggling to manage anger and aggression in your loved one with dementia?
These challenging emotions can feel overwhelming, but there are practical ways to navigate them while maintaining peace for both you and your loved one.
Anger and aggression in dementia aren’t random. They often stem from deeper triggers. These could range from physical discomfort to emotional distress.
The key to managing these episodes lies in identifying the triggers. Keep a detailed behavior log. Note the time, environment, and events leading up to the outburst. This log can reveal patterns, helping you anticipate and prevent future episodes.
By incorporating these strategies, you can create a more peaceful caregiving experience. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey. There are communities and resources available to support you as you care for your loved one.
Feel free to join our monthly "Ask the Dementia Coach" sessions for personalized guidance and support. Together, we can make the caregiving journey less stressful and more fulfilling.
