Self-Care for Caregivers
Self-care is a fucking privilege for people with time to themselves.
Do you know that? It's like a 3/4 cold that never quite breaks out? Because you have perfected the ability to pull yourself together and function again and again. Because you have to work. The burden of responsibility is so great. And the pressure and the comparison with the other caregivers is even greater.
And if exhaustion does break out, then you are advised to "simply" do a little more yoga or try a gratitude journal. It's all just more band-aids and self-optimization tools to continue being exploited in unpaid care work - invisible, crawling along to be rebuilt every few years in the mothers' convalescent home. Yes please!
Oh, I firmly believe that glitter can save us...
Ah right, all it takes is a little glitter glitter - let the kids inspire you!
All the anger, all the exhaustion is allowed.
If you like and still have a little time left, then we can create a conscious space for it and see where these emotions are located in the body and what they need to be heard.
I don't want to give you any consolation or (advice) advice, I can hold you, just be there, with the help of elements from the Lomi massage, allow you to let go of all responsibility and burden - at least for this one hour.
And if you like, we can analyze in your (family/related people) system where and how more lightness and one or the other breath may arise.
