What is Caregiver Counselling?
A caregiver is someone who supports another person in need, such as a sick spouse, a child with a disability, or an elderly relative. While caregiving can be deeply fulfilling and many wish to care for their loved ones, it also presents significant challenges that can impact mental health without proper support. Caregivers often experience feelings of isolation and face physical and emotional demands that can interfere with sleep, nutrition, and exercise. Frequently, caregivers prioritize other’s needs over their own, neglecting their basic self-care.
Grief is often a component of caregiver counseling, stemming from the changes in the person they care for or the situation itself. Feelings of anger, resentment, and guilt about these emotions are also common. It’s normal for caregivers to experience a wide range of emotions that may vary from day to day.
How Can Caregiver Counselling Help?
Regular counseling can alleviate feelings of loneliness by providing a supportive presence. A counselor can assist you in focusing on what you can control, identifying areas where you can receive support from others, and setting achievable goals. They can also help you establish a manageable daily routine. If you’re seeking support, please reach out to Evergreen today to find a counselor who can help you.
