SUMMARY:Embracing the Unknown Learn to Live with Uncertainty in our Lives!
DESCRIPTION:We live in the moment now more than ever. Before COVID\, we lived with the illusion of certainty. Now we know for sure that we don’t have certainty. As caregivers\, did we ever have “certainty” or is that an illusion? \nIt is a new time and new age but has the world of uncertainty ever really changed? How do we want to live right now\, with all the risks\, limits\, and new freedoms? That is the question many caregivers are wrestling with in unpredictable times. \nHow can we accept and embrace the idea that what we choose now may need an adjustment tomorrow? Can we go with the flow? Make our decisions with the current? Resist the urge to force certainty where none can exist? \nJoin Dr Jamie this month in understanding the power that actually exists in “the unknown” and how we\, as caregivers can reduce our own anxiety and learn to embrace the concept of “uncertainty” in our lives as well as our loved ones. \n

SUMMARY:Recognizing and coping with Anticipatory Grief
DESCRIPTION:No one lives forever and it’s so hard to let go. Losing a loved one can be one of the most devastating events in our lifetime\, but your relative is sitting right next to you. Loss and grief are part of the human experience. Caregivers experience something called “anticipatory grief.” These are feelings of grief that can begin well before a loved one passes away. We will discuss ways to recognize and cope with anticipatory grief. **Sponsored by VITAS Healthcare** \n

SUMMARY:Moving Away from the Idea of Co-Dependency
DESCRIPTION:Never has a mental health condition been more prevalent and truly less understood then the word “codependency”… Caregivers have historically been ‘tarred and feathered” with this word\, even in the book I co wrote called Take Your Oxygen First! \nWalking on egg shells to avoid conflict\, feeling like you are “lost in the sauce” with a loved one\, being the one that apologizes all the time\, being bullied and feeling hurt by others actions or even being the one who refuses constantly in a relationship may be all signs that we may being in a codependent relationship. But is codependency the diagnosis or is it a manifestation of something clinically deeper. \nJoin Dr Jamie and the ESRT Team with a trauma informed new look\, understanding and perspective of this often misunderstood concept as it relates to family and professional caregivers. Tune in for a fascinating new perspective around this concept of understanding better why the old concept has been overly used\, abused\, and actually possibly distracted us from the real root causes around this overused concept. \n

SUMMARY:Dementia\, Stigma and Caregiving
DESCRIPTION:Currently\, there are over 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease\, yet many caregivers do not talk about it or even admit their loved one has it. Why is there so much stigma? How can we stop the stigma so that others will get the help they need as caregivers of someone living with dementia? Join Dr. Oliver as she discusses why it’s important to share what you are going through as a caregiver and how you can talk to others about it. \n
