Produktbeschreibung

"An information-rich... and even fearless exploration and understanding of the all-too-often simply overwhelming caregiving process." -Jay Schneiders, PhD, ABPP, clinical neuropsychologist & health psychologist The Caregiving Trap provides recommendations for exhausted and frustrated caregivers. Advocate, care navigator, and caregiving educator Pamela D. Wilson shares stories from her personal and professional experience that will help you navigate the challenges of caring for a loved one and help you replace feelings of guilt, sadness, and fatigue with calm and certainty. In The Caregiving Trap, you'll get step-by-step exercises to help you through common issues, such as:

• A sense of duty and obligation to provide care that damages family relationships
• Emotional and financial challenges resulting in denial of care needs
• Ignorance of predictive events that result in situations of crises or harm
• Delayed decision making and lack of planning resulting in limited choices
• Minimum standards of care supporting the need for advocacy

"Pamela Wilson... offers a toolbox of strategies to help the caregiver move forward with foresight, knowledge, and skills to plan for the future." -Tina Wells, MA, Alzheimer's Association Colorado "A must read not only for any health professional interacting with the elderly and disabled individuals but also for any adult who could possibly find themselves in a caregiving situation or the recipient of caregiving now or in the future. Pamela's personal and professional experience, along with extensive research, offers a compassionate, perceptive and detailed resource. Familiar scenarios, probing questions, and realistic options are presented, all with the end goal of better quality of life for both the recipient of care and the caregiver." -Linda Warwick, RN, hospice and alternative therapy practitioner
