Finding time to take care of yourself when you're overwhelmed caring for others can seem impossible. Online therapy can make it possible. Services are available via video or telephone for those living in Florida and abroad. Are you caring for elderly family members, children, or both? Are you feeling overwhelmed, pulled in too many directions, anxious or depressed because of everything piled on yo

ur plate? Do you need support with coping with a loved one with dementia or how to make difficult decisions about the end of life? Do you worry about not being a “good enough” caretaker or find yourself wracked with guilt when wrestling with tough choices? Are your relationships under strain because of your caretaking responsibilities? Caring for others can take a heavy toll across all domains of life. What I want you to hear is this:

Self-care is not selfish. Not only are you as important as the people you are caring for and worthy of having your needs met, but research also shows that when you take care of yourself, you are better able to take care of others. If the well has run dry, there’s nothing left to give. You must make sure you are filling that well as fast as you are drawing from it.
