Rayna Neises, ACC, host, shares two important tools to help caregivers manage the stress that can be experienced while caring for a loved one.  She shares examples and insight on reframing and “Both/And” Thinking:

  • [2:21]  When we frame our experience with good in mind, it is easier to see the good
  • [4:26]  Reframing helps you to see all of the picture, not just one little part.
  • [5:15]  Take a deep breath and notice if ‘your camera is zoomed in’ or your perspective is distorted.
  • [5:39]  Reframing will help you strengthen your mental resolve.
  • [6:36]  “Both/And” Thinking vs. “Either/Or” Thinking
  • [7:50]  Unlike compromise which requires giving up something to agree, “Both/And” Thinking let’s both exist together.
  • [9:37]  Read more at: “Both/And” Thinking, Say What? – Undaunted 
  • [10:34]  “Both/And” Thinking creates breathing room and helps you to appreciate what you have lost and to appreciate what you have now.
