Identifying as a Caregiver means you naturally put others' needs before your own. Your compassion and support are invaluable, making you a pillar for your family, friends, and colleagues. However, this constant focus on others can lead to neglecting your own needs and feeling overwhelmed. You might struggle with setting boundaries and often feel responsible for others' wellbeing.
It's crucial to take care of yourself to continue being the amazing support system you are. Set clear boundaries and schedule regular self-care activities, whether it’s a hobby, exercise, or quiet time. Seeking support when needed and practicing self-compassion will help you maintain a healthy balance and ensure your wellbeing.
Your journey out of freeze starts with YOU

If you knew where to start, would that help you create a change?

Would it help you be more present with your kids and kick that mom-guilt because you are barely keeping it together?
Would it help your relationship with your spouse or partner because you wouldn't be too tired and exhausted to be intimate and have fun?
Would you feel more productive at work because you're no longer fighting brain fog and struggling with memory issues?
Would it take some of the pressure off because your time management has changed and that mile-long to-do list no longer causes you constant anxiety?
