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.

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

SUMMARY:Why Family Caregivers Should Say “No”
DESCRIPTION:Family caregivers often feel uncomfortable setting limits and saying “no” to the family members they are caring for because they don’t want to feel guilty. But saying “no” can be good for caregivers and care receivers. Psychologist and author Barry Jacobs will lead a conversation about how to say “no” to improve the well-being of the caregiver and care receiver and therefore avoid all guilt. \n

SUMMARY:Emotional Intelligence Institute: Caregiving through the Lens of Self Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers. \nOur sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well. \nMost of us go through life running on autopilot. We make it through the day – and we don’t wonder why our day went the way it did. We don’t examine how we felt or the actions we took. We don’t practice self-awareness. \nSelf-awareness is the cornerstone of emotional intelligence. It allows you to improve every area of your life by taking responsibility for your emotions\, thoughts and actions. It can increase confidence\, creativity and decision-making skills. It can improve your relationships and your career. \nBut what is self-awareness really? It isn’t a personality trait or a magical spell. It’s something you can develop with the right tools and a powerful desire. \nJoin Dr. Jamie as he dispels self-awareness and helps you open up to your full potential and provide a fresh perspective of how you see your life and those you care for. \n
