Freedom is accelerated thanks to your 3-pronged approach to reap the benefits:
1) A safe forum where others share your challenges as a caregiver. We reveal what works, what hasn't worked, and how you can turn it all around. Hearing others’ experiences, and being heard, lets you know you’re not alone and you can walk away from each call with real solutions.
2) Get professional, targeted guidance from Loren Gelberg-Goff is not only an author, but the national leading caregiving expert. Learn how to communicate effectively and let go of overwhelm and guilt. You will gain a full understanding of specific communication designed for caregivers to be more effective with your loved one than what you’ve been doing up until now.
3) A step by step guide to handling your role as a caregiver. Master these steps with ease and discover new approaches and exactly how you can use them successfully in your life.
These benefits plus helpful handouts, tip sheets, scripts and worksheets, set you up for success to get you on the road to clear goal-setting, and targeted feedback to greatly enhance your results.
Guilt implies that you have done something wrong. Guilt can be helpful, but it can also be very destructive, and lead to shame. In this week’s lesson, you’ll learn to work through guilt feelings, act and provide care with healthy compassion for both yourself and your loved one.
A boundary is anything that marks a limit, and psychological boundaries define personal dignity. Learn that in spite of stresses, pressures, demands and needs, you can create and maintain boundaries that are loving and respectful to yourself and actually help to improve your relationship with those you love.
Anger is a double-edged sword. When we lash out in anger, then the world lashes back with that same anger causing pain and grief that still has to get resolved. This lesson is all about how to extinguish your resentment and anger in a healthier way. In fact, it’s about learning to appreciate anger as your friend.
When feeling lost in the fog of guilt and obligation, emotional blackmail takes hold. Feeling bound by others’ manipulations we lose sight of a clear focus and direction for ourselves and our lives. Emotional blackmail adds to your feelings of anger and resentment which negatively impacts loving care. You can learn to step out of the fog of emotional blackmail and provide compassionate care which will improve your loved one’s life as well as your own!
If you believe that self-compassion and self-care are signs you are being selfish, then this lesson is designed just for you. You can learn that they are really self-preservation. This lesson puts into real life terms the life-saving message that airlines teach about placing the oxygen mask over your face first when traveling with a dependent.
Family relationships are fraught with emotional challenges through our lives. When being a caregiver to our loved ones can be filled with mixed feelings. Whether you or your loved one holds hurt, grudges, frustrations or upsets, we need to find new ways to heal so that you can continue to provide healthy and compassionate. Learn through this lesson what forgiveness really is, and what it isn’t. Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself, and this is where the gift begins.

3. How Is This Different From Other Caregiving Support Groups?
Here’s how it works…
This is not a peer led support group. This is a professionally moderated group that provides guidance, support, and encouragement to make the changes needed to take back your life as a caregiver.
It’s one thing to share your challenges, but it's another to gain actionable steps to understand how to navigate your caregiver role.
This is a goal driven group. We are creating specific outcomes such as how to effectively handle tough conversations, how to make yourself a priority, and ways to shift your perspective dealing with painful situations. This gives you, the caregiver, the confidence you need in order to make these critical empowering changes so you can truly get back your life.
