What starts as loving, compassionate care becomes an isolating, stressful, never-ending race to get everything done. Inevitably, anger and resentment creep in-toward the person being cared for as well as other family members who don't pitch in . . . or both. So guilt and shame for not feeling loving all the time gets added to the emotional mix.

Worst of all, most caregivers have no support system, and no plan for ensuring that they're taking good care of themselves first so they can keep going without falling apart. Is there any hope for a better life?

Yes! In Take Back your Life: A Caregiver's Guide to Finding Freedom in the Midst of Overwhelm, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and experienced family caregiver Loren Gelberg-Goff shows you exactly how to get back to having a life, feel that loving connection you thought was gone, stop arguing and get cooperation from your siblings and others, and discover other resources you can call upon to guarantee that much-needed "you time."
