You are a caregiver and you\u2019ve come through 2021. Think of all you have done for your loved one. Do you recognize the enormous contributions you\u2019ve made? Do you look back with any sense of regret? At this time of resolution setting, you may wonder how best to move beyond this year and into the next. To help guide you, two mental health professionals have offered suggestions on how best to serve both your loved one and yourself as you take on 2022:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharon Givens, psychotherapist in Columbia, SC, and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/visionscounselingandcareer.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visions Counseling and Career Center<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Reach out for support<\/strong> Develop a clear plan of how to take care of yourself\u2014physically and mentally. Caregivers get so immersed in taking care of the person that they don\u2019t take care of themselves. Caregivers should have a strong circle of support. That can include professional support, connecting with support groups or actually getting therapy. Also make sure that you\u2019re keeping up with your own doctors\u2019 appointments and working out because if your body and mind are not capable, then you\u2019re not able to take care of that person. Any support that you can get to alleviate particularly day-to-day duties is always helpful. People are not always in the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/caregiving\/family-caregiving\/advice-for-caregivers\/financial-resources-for-in-home-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial situation to get professional help<\/a> but if that\u2019s available to you, then absolutely do it. There are lots of services available that may have not been years ago, that have really good screening programs where you can find good people, in addition to family and friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Take respite<\/strong> Get away for a couple of days to separate yourself from the environment and all the emotions that are within that environment, at least every six weeks or so. Take at least a couple of days to have some degree of separation from the situation and to process and explore your own feelings in terms of what\u2019s happening. That can vary when you\u2019re a caregiver\u2014is it short-term or long-term? Is this somebody who has cancer, is it someone who has dementia? The details can play a major role. It can be either taking a vacation or a staycation. Stay somewhere for a few days and just do nothing. Or if you want to take a mini-vacation and get out of town, a weekend getaway is always good. You tend to be more refreshed when you return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Practice stress management<\/strong> Participate in <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/caregiving\/family-caregiving\/caregiver-stress\/stress-busters-for-caregivers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mindfulness activities or meditating<\/a>. One stress management technique that I think is really helpful is journaling. You can use that opportunity to express your feelings, but also to capture the journey of what\u2019s happening during this process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Get help to process your feelings<\/strong> Be conscious that your behaviors and actions are not ones that will lead to regrets, particularly if the person\u2019s in a terminal situation. Everyone can benefit from therapy but I always suggest that caregivers get therapy. Individual therapy can help with your own unique needs. Grief and loss tend to be a major component in many cases for caregivers because typically we\u2019re taking care of a person who once took care of us. So, there\u2019s a sense of loss there because the roles have changed and the person is no longer the person they were years ago, in some capacity\u2014whether it\u2019s physical or mental. Support groups are also very helpful because you recognize that you\u2019re all going through the same thing, and I think that can be very validating as a caregiver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Give yourself some grace<\/strong> We all make mistakes. There\u2019s no perfect situation. But look at all the things that you\u2019re doing well. Let\u2019s take a look at what\u2019s working in this situation. It\u2019s no different from whether it\u2019s a job or anything else that you\u2019re embarking upon\u2014you\u2019re going to make a mistake and you move on in terms of, is it something you can fix? Many of the things caregivers kind of ruminate about are things that they can\u2019t change. That\u2019s the biggest thing. If it\u2019s something you can change, change it. If it\u2019s something that you can\u2019t, then you have to move forward from that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharon Martin, psychotherapist in San Jose, and author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellwithsharonmartin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The CBT Workbook for Perfectionism<\/em><\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Avoid self-criticism<\/strong> Caregivers give so much to others, but they\u2019re often very hard on themselves. They hold themselves to unrealistic standards\u2014to be perfect caregivers\u2014and then end up criticizing themselves when they can\u2019t do it all or do it the way they want. But self-criticism is rarely warranted and it adds more stress to an already stressful situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Forgive yourself<\/strong> If we can be more self-compassionate and accept our imperfections, we\u2019ll be able to stay physically and emotionally healthier. We can start to do this by forgiving ourselves when we\u2019re less than perfect. For example, you might say to yourself, \u201cI forgive myself for losing my temper with Mom. Taking care of her is really hard and sometimes I\u2019m going to make mistakes. That doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m a bad daughter.\u201d When we do this, we acknowledge our struggles, that everyone makes mistakes, and that we still have value even though we\u2019re not perfect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Look at what you\u2019re doing right<\/strong> Another way to combat self-criticism and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/caregiving\/family-caregiving\/caregiver-stress\/what-is-caregiver-burnout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caregiver burnout<\/a> is to intentionally notice what you\u2019re doing right. Mistakes tend to stand out in our memories, making them seem bigger and more frequent than they really are. But caregivers do dozens of caring things every day that no one acknowledges. They focus on what they\u2019ve done wrong and discount their hard work and effort. This isn\u2019t fair or motivating!<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\"><strong>Take stock<\/strong> <strong>of your hard work<\/strong> At the end of the day, I encourage caregivers to jot down a few things that they put effort into. This isn\u2019t a list of things they did perfectly or that went perfectly. It\u2019s a list of things they put effort into. It\u2019s not fair to judge yourself by outcomes (e.g., if Mom ate all her dinner) because you can\u2019t control that. But you\u2019ll probably feel better if you recognize and appreciate the hard work and effort you put into your loved one\u2019s care \u2013 and remember that even good caregivers are imperfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the year closes, offer a toast to yourself.
