Reviews

This audio track had a resonance and positive impact from the first time I listened to it. While being relatively short, it gets to the heart of my personal experience as a caregiver.

Most caregivers make tremendous commitments to those they love and do so without seeking praise or even thanks. The role is often very physically, mentally and emotionally demanding but we persist in trying to act in ways that reduce the burden of those we care for. Unfortunately, the results can often be harmful to the caregiver themselves, especially when self-care and honouring one’s limits are not prioritised.

This audio track is a powerful reminder of the bigger picture about the caregiving role and the caregiver’s experiential reality. It provides a shot of inspiration – much needed particularly when fatigue, despondency or a deep sense of loneliness show up – while also presenting the basis of a “caregiving contract” with oneself in terms of how to “be” in this really demanding role.

By the end of listening to this track I felt seen and my efforts acknowledged; two particular elements that have been long time absent from my caregiving experience.

Thank you Kathy and many blessings 🙏

This is just what I needed to hear, thank you so much Kathy! ❤️

Such a peaceful moment to take while always feeling there is something to do!
