Holistic Mental Health And Healing

You know eventually it will happen, that your parents may require help and it is estimated that 34 million Americans serve as unpaid caregivers caring for an aging parent. Caregivers report having one or more chronic conditions and of those who say their health has worsened because of care giving, 91% report depression. In today’s show we talk about ways to take care of yourself, how to set boundaries, and learning how to cope with the FOG, (fear obligation and guilt) that comes with parenting parents. The show will also give you some simple guidelines to give you a few holistic tips for your mental health.
