5 Dementia Behavior Strategies That Feel Wrong But Actually Work


Listen Later

Dementia behaviors can feel confusing, frustrating, and exhausting, especially when the more you try to explain or reason, the worse it seems to get.

In this episode, I'm sharing 5 underrated ways to handle dementia behaviors that actually work in real life. These are practical, psychology-based strategies you can try the next time your loved one with dementia becomes defensive, upset, anxious, or stuck in a belief that doesn't match your reality.

These strategies are simple, but they can dramatically shift how a moment unfolds. You don't have to try all five. Start with one this week and notice what changes.
