Being a caregiver takes a lot of energy. Would you believe that some of the energy you so badly need to just get through each day is being wasted? It is being used up by your busy mind, pulling you this way and that, to deal with old fears, opinions and assumptions that have nothing to do with what you are actually being called upon to do. This same internal chatter is also drowning out your intuition and natural wisdom. It hides from you, the place of inner calm where you can truly rest and rejuvenate. Believe it or not, that quiet place is always there, waiting for you to notice it.

Join Patricia Boham, Ph.D., RN, Caregiver, as she shares what she has learned as a psychologist, longtime meditator and, most important, full-time caregiver. She has developed short, user-friendly exercises to help you recognize how your busy mind is taking you away from your quiet, wise self, and from the person you are caring for, and you. Her own experience motivated her to find ways to shift into the present moment, often called mindfulness, throughout the day. She knows your time is valuable, so will share practical skills that you will be able to integrate into your daily life. Her goal is to not only help you as a caregiver, but to help you to recover the sense of self that you need now and in the future.

Seeking the patient perspective doesn’t have to be complicated; it simply entails a commitment to ask and listen. Patient advisors not only bring a valuable perspective but also share original ideas and unique skills. Including the patient and family perspective changes the conversation and aligns the team’s focus towards common goals.
