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

Are you feeling burnt out as a family caregiver? Today's #WednesdayWisdom from Julie Daigle, MSDA, BGS, CDP, CMDCP is here to help: "Recognizing signs of compassion fatigue is vital for caregivers to maintain their well-being. Symptoms such as physical and emotional exhaustion, decreased empathy, and feelings of guilt or dread should not be ignored. If experiencing burnout, caregivers should prioritize self-care, take time off if possible, seek support from trusted individuals or groups, and consider professional counseling. Remember, caregiving is inherently challenging, and practicing kindness towards oneself is essential in navigating its demands." #independentliving #inhomecare #athomecare #eldercare #DesMoines
