It’s time to focus on yourself.
Therapy for carers
Are you always the last on your list?
You might be a teacher, parent, caregiver for an older relative, healthcare professional or maybe you hold multiple carer identities.
Many carers struggle to make time for themselves and they may believe they don’t deserve it. Saying no or having limits may be a foreign concept. Many carers are also deeply sensitive and empathic individuals who carry the emotional weight of those they work with and care for. Taking the step of beginning therapy is already a way of taking time for yourself. Through therapy, we will work on:
Increasing awareness to your own individual limits
Viewing your worth as separate from meeting others’ needs
Decreasing guilt that comes from prioritizing your own needs
You’re ready to find balance between caring for others and caring for yourself.
Therapy for carers can help you…
Learn ways to set boundaries that feel genuine for you
Slow down and look within to evaluate your own emotional, relational, and physical needs
Harness your strengths as a caring, compassionate person without losing yourself
Understand if childhood patterns or messages are keeping you over-extended in caregiving roles
Find ways to enjoy life more fully
