The Caregiver

Whether for children, aging parents, or a loved one with special needs, caregiving is a role that demands immense emotional and physical energy. You’ve been the glue holding everything together, ensuring others are cared for and safe. During this journey you’ve developed resilience, patience, and an ability to problem-solve under pressure and all while mastering the art of giving unconditional love.

But caregiving can also intersect with trauma, especially if you’ve experienced exhaustion, feelings of inadequacy, or the belief that your needs must always come last. Over time, this can erode your confidence and sense of autonomy.

Questions to reflect on:

  • What parts of your identity have you put on hold while caregiving?
  • How can you create space for your own needs without guilt?
  • What steps can you take to recognize and heal from any emotional wounds tied to caregiving?
