Every year, 50 million Americans provide extensive homecare for ill or disabled relatives, often experiencing great stress and guilt-inducing ambivalence in the process. Even the hardiest family caregivers suffer high rates of depression, anxiety, and physical health problems. In this workshop, we'll review key tasks for caregivers that'll help them find a sane balance between caring for others and sustaining, even nurturing, themselves. We'll highlight hallmarks of effective therapy with clients caring for others--including alliance-building, permission-giving, and meaning-making--which can assuage guilt, rework family legacies, and foster mutually enriching connections. We'll explore the use of spiritual beliefs in bolstering positive meanings and the motivation for self-care. Video clips and transcripts will illustrate specific case situations.
