You are an Entrenched Care Partner when…
You are dealing with all of the ‘New Work‘ that patients and care partners manage during a healthcare experience. You are learning about not just the healthcare systems you find yourself managing, but communicating with friends and family and balancing work expectations.
In this stage, it’s so easy to become overwhelmed with all. the. things. You can feel like you’re stuck in a storm you may never get out of.
It can be difficult to feel like your life is balanced. It can be difficult to remember:
You Are Enough!
The challenge in this stage is to build on the skills from the previous stages. You have practiced asking and finding and now – in the middle of the storm – your challenge is to receive.
What do you need to receive?
- Help
- Support
- Solutions
- Solitude
- Breaks
This can be easier said than done! Please know you’re not alone. There are resources here, including getting connected with a free 30-minute consultation.
