Therapy for Parents & Caregivers
Are You a Parent or Caregiver Who is Feeling Overwhelmed?
Perhaps, You Struggle With Knowing When and How to Ask for Help?
Do You Feel Like You Have Lost Your Balance in Life and Burn Out is Just Around the Corner?
You need to support and take care of your aging parents, small children, or both while juggling multiple roles in life. From working to support your family to maintaining relationships, it can feel like you are constantly pulled in different directions. This can cause a depletion of energy and emotional regulation. Leaving you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed. It doesn't allow you to show up and give them the care they need, or give yourself the time for self-care needed to support your own well-being.
Any time you feel as if you have a moment of respite, it may feel like you are letting yourself down or someone else needs you. You may be feeling a sense of guilt for not being able to provide the care that you want. This leads you to feel burnt out as you struggle with your sense of obligation to those around you. However, how can you provide for those around you when your own well-being has been put on the back burner?
Why a Parent or Caregiver May Seek Therapy
When you spend the majority of your time taking care of others, it can leave you feeling drained and exhausted. There are a lot of emotions that come with the commitments you have as a parent or caregiver. From seeing your parents age and depend on you for help to providing support and guidance to your small children, it can become overwhelming. These are just some of the reasons why a parent or caregiver may seek therapy.
Other reasons may include:
Wanting to learn how to ask for help without feeling guilty.
Desiring to practice greater emotional regulation.
Striving for more balance in life.
Seeking strategies on how to make time for self-care.
Feeling emotionally fatigued and burned out.
Coping with feelings of guilt for not being able to give more.
Resentment for not having time or energy to take care of yourself.
