8. The case for denial: why you might want to let it ride just for a bit


Listen Later

Denial is very common in discussions about dementia or cognitive impairment. Today we're going to look denial right in the eye, and make peace with it. We're going to cover how to know it when it comes up, why it needs to be recognized and accepted, and how to get through it. Today's episode covers:

  • What does denial look and sound like?
  • Why is it important?
  • How to work with it?
  • What not to do!

Resources:

  • Permission to go do something that fills you with joy and gratitude and forget about the denial just for a little while.
