Caregiver Burnout
Caring for a parent, partner or child with illness or special needs is an act of love, and it can be exhausting. Caregiver burnout often comes with guilt, resentment or grief that is hard to say out loud.
What this might look like for you
- Complete emotional and physical exhaustion from caring for a sick or aging loved one.
- Feeling guilty whenever you try to take even a moment for yourself.
- Resentment building towards family members who aren't helping.
- Losing touch with your own friends and personal life entirely.
You cannot pour from an empty cup. We give you permission and tools to care for yourself while caring for others.
How therapy can help
- A space that is just for you, not the person you care for
- Set limits and ask for help without guilt
- Cope with the grief and stress that caring can bring
Sessions are 50 minutes on Google Meet, ₹1,500 each or ₹5,100 for a package of 4. Your first 20-minute intro is free.
