21. Navigating Caregiving Without Sacrificing Connection
Manage episode 429141492 series 3564371
I’m excited to dive into a topic that’s close to my heart: maintaining connection with your partner while caregiving. Our connections to our partners bring us joy, make us feel whole, and contribute to our spiritual resilience. Yet, the demands of caregiving can sometimes erode these vital bonds.
I’ll explore the key elements that maintain our connection with our partners: emotional intimacy, trust, respect, communication, quality time, and physical connection. You'll hear personal stories and practical tips to help you reflect on your relationship, recognize areas of strength, and identify aspects that might need some work.
I'll also tackle the common barriers that get in the way of connection, such as lacking boundaries, judgment, and poor communication. You'll learn how to reaffirm your caregiving role as a choice, combat resentment, and maintain open, honest dialogue.
Join me to uncover the keys to preserving your relationship's depth and joy, even in the face of caregiving demands.
