That’s why I want to share with you a small part of my role as family and professional caregiver. I come from a long line of generational caregivers. My grandmother cared for her mother and father. My mother cared for her mother (my granny) too and because my mother cared so did I. Many times we don’t recognize the generational and cultural unspoken expectations that can be thrusted upon us over time. That’s a whole other conversation. This is what I want you to know. Dementia has affected every generation of my immediate and extended family. And that’s where my personal caregiver of my story started. My professional caregiver story started at the age 12 volunteering in the VA Hospital, interning in assisted living facilities, previously working with patients in dialysis, community health, and currently working with patients in heart failure and transplant. I’ve felt the physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, and financial burden of caregiving and I’ve also experienced the appreciation, growth, and peace of continuously choosing to care. This is why I’ve made it my mission and purpose in life to help caregivers live a fulfilled life. Yes, caregiving is honorable and simultaneously DAMN hard. And yet, this quote still rings true “Caregiving often calls us to lean into love we didn’t know possible.” ~Tia Walker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f5d5cb03d12125f9ed4a4/1646591919186-TK5MYJQ2ZD5KTD6ZF8JN/unsplash-image-rCyiK4_aaWw.jpg About - Therapy for Caregivers acknowledges and understands the everyday challenges of being a caregiver whether it be a familial caregiver or professional caregiver. That’s why we believe in providing education around what caregiving is and why it looks different for every caregiver. Here are some real life caregiving situations I’ve seen first hand. A young adult caring for a middle aged mother, who has recently had a stroke and is requiring full time care. A spouse caring for their partner with a new onset of dementia or end stage disease. A nurse, physician, or social worker who is experiencing compassion fatigue - extreme tiredness or desperation. A married couple with teenage children now finding themselves as the primary caregivers for their elderly parents with declining health. Professional medical staff who experience physical health issues due to work stress/trauma. As a mental wellness therapist, I assist clients by providing therapy, education, resources, and more. We help our clients connect with their current reality and reimagine caregiving as a gift of service because ultimately you “get to choose” to care for your loved ones or your patients. https://www.therapyforcaregivers.com/team daily 0.75 2022-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f5d5cb03d12125f9ed4a4/8c3e9fca-35e9-425c-a1c8-973906647889/Attachment-1-2.jpg Team - THERAPIST, SPECIALIZING IN CAREGIVING Kelsie Scott, MSW, LCSW I’m a licensed clinical social worker and therapist in Atlanta, GA. I’m most passionate about empowering caregivers who are often overwhelmed and feel alone in their caregiving journey. I want you to know that when caregiving starts to feel stressful and burdensome; there is no shame in exploring those feelings of guilt, shame, confusion, fearfulness, hopelessness, and or inadequacy. Caregiving is a journey. You didn’t plan on becoming a caregiver; but you saw the need, committed to your loved one and the process. That in itself deserves a gracious thank you, so THANK YOU… And then there are those days that bring you to your knees in prayer and you choose to draw from gratitude. Now say it with me - I’m thankful for the opportunity to be a caregiver because I get too! It’s by your humanity in this life that you are in an ever ongoing process of development and change including your sense of who you are as a caregiver. I want to help you shift your perspective to see caregiving as an ever changing heroic effort - as a sign of growth and “work in progress.” https://www.therapyforcaregivers.com/services daily 0.75 2022-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f5d5cb03d12125f9ed4a4/1647217598709-RTMNJ65O53MQXZ9RRVHU/unsplash-image-l9I93gZKTG4.jpg Services https://www.therapyforcaregivers.com/our-approach daily 0.75 2022-09-14 https://www.therapyforcaregivers.com/therapy-for-medical-caregivers daily 0.75 2022-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616f5d5cb03d12125f9ed4a4/1647220292393-V7JYLNF0X3WO82C9855J/unsplash-image-pA0uoltkwao.jpg Services - “The health service is unravelling.
