Caregiver Support

Knowing when to get support yourself is one of the most important decisions you can make to stay present and engaged with those we love. In counseling you can explore the parts of you that get triggered and may want to give up. Your feelings are valid and deserve a place to be explored and expressed. Only through offering all of our emotions space, can we find the freedom to work process them and let them go. It’s like the old adage “in order to get to the other side, you have to go through”. Going through your emotions, no matter how scary, is the best way to transform them to keep your energy and your connection up in difficult times.
