Dementia Caregivers, You Don't Have to Wait Until It Gets Worse
About this episode
Dr. Natali Edmonds discusses the importance of seeking support early as a dementia caregiver, rather than waiting for situations to worsen.
The number one mistake dementia caregivers make is waiting. Waiting until things get harder. Waiting for the right moment. Waiting until they feel like they really need support. And it makes complete sense why. When difficulty builds slowly, your brain adapts. What felt overwhelming six months ago becomes your new normal. And before long, you stop being able to accurately measure just how much your life has changed. But here is what I want you to hear. The moment things feel manageable is not the least important time to get support. It is one of the most important. In this episode I explain exactly why our brains convince us to wait, why getting support early makes such a meaningful difference, and what you can do right now even if things feel okay. You don't have to be drowning to deserve support. → Join the Care Collective: https://tinyurl.com/re-sales-podcast If you'd like to see this episode on video, you can hop on over to my YouTube channel here .
