Coping As A Caregiver: Part 9, Anger Is Fear In Disguise

For part 9 of her series on caregivers and caregiving, Barbara introduces the concept that "Anger is Fear in Disguise". She asks listeners to reflect on how this may be presenting itself in the life of a caregiver. She invites listeners to treat themselves more gently when it comes to anger and possible angry outbursts. Barbara explains that feeling anger can be more empowering than feeling fear and may inadvertently become our habit.

Thank you. I’m currently supporting my partner in recovery from full hip surgery. I have gotten angry and so has she . I was confused as to where it is coming from but seeing it as reflection of our fears makes perfect sense. Very insightful.

Generous thoughts that have rescued me from my wobble. Thank you. 😊

This is by far the best of the series It feels real has emotion and helps me feel less alone especially in my angry feelings “why me” I am in my golden years , what happened? I have so much anger and fear and you have helped me feel human, thank you I so look forward to your next class.
