Guilt and resentment are the two most common—and often most shameful—emotions in the caregiving journey. They are the uninvited guests that slowly deplete your emotional energy. This week, we confront these powerful feelings head-on.

Host Jeremy Watkins differentiates between guilt (the belief that you "should" be doing more) and resentment (the bitterness from unmet needs and lost opportunities). We explore why these emotions are not signs of failure, but rather normal, inevitable human responses to chronic stress and love.

Learn essential psychological tools to break this exhausting cycle:

• Using cognitive reframing to challenge the "should" trap and embrace the concept of the "Good Enough Caregiver."

• Transforming resentment into actionable data by pinpointing the unmet need that is fueling your anger.

• The psychological freedom of accepting that you can deeply love your care recipient and resent the situation you are in.

Stop punishing yourself. This episode offers a path to self-compassion, helping you process these challenging emotions so you can care sustainably.
