COUNSELING FOR CAREGIVERS,
WITH A BUDDHIST PERSPECTIVE

Diana Lynch, LCSW

Are you caring for a loved one and wondering how to balance that with having a life of your own? Do you sometimes feel tired and burned out and unable to show the love you feel as much as you would like? Perhaps you need a chance to share your feelings, the frustrations and the fears, your own anxieties about impermanence and suffering. You may also need to tell your own story, the joys and the disappointments, the accomplishments and the missed opportunities... what is still unfinished? What do you need in your life right now to bring some equanimity, peace, into this difficult situation? Connecting some of the dots in your own life may also be a way to be more present with the person for whom you are caring. Taking care of yourself is necessary in order to take care of someone else!
