Giving versus receiving is a very interesting conversation. These are actually skills that we can develop. Are you a chronic giver who has difficulty receiving? Or do you tend to struggle giving because you feel like nobody seems to give back? Experts often consider the inability to receive a potential trauma response. During the attachment phase in our infancy and younger years, children learn that they have to remain silent annything, in order to avoid stressing out their caregivers. If a caregiver is dysregulated, children have a primal sense that they have to avoid being a burden. #givingvsreceiving #theartofreceiving #relationshipgoals #healthyrelationships #ptsd #lovegives #balancedrelationships #givingandreceiving #traumaresponse #relationshipgoal #childhoodtraumarecovery #traumaawareness #integrativesteps #healthcoach #healthandwellnesscoach #womanonfire #viralvideos #fypシ

Fact Friday- Did you know your brain never stops Developing? According to Mayo clinic & Oxford studies- 15 million Seniors through volunteering are creating new neuro pathways by learning new tasks and skills. If you still do the same tasks you are not challenging yourself or your brain.. the adult brain can and does continue to develop at any age – but only when it is stimulated by learning new things. ‘Use it or lose it’ – the old adage applies. It is largely our choice, as individuals, whether we keep our brains sharp – or not.

🔍 Have you wondered how advance care planning (ACP) interventions impact caregiver outcomes? Let us share some insights with you! 📊 We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to understand the impact of ACP interventions on caregiver outcomes. Meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed that ACP significantly improved congruence in end-of-life care preferences between caregivers and patients. 💡 Results also showed improved bereavement outcomes, satisfaction with care quality/communication, reduced decisional conflict and burden among caregivers. No study showed that mental health of caregivers was adversely affected. Overall, this review suggests that ACP interventions have some benefit on caregiver outcomes.
