Download or read book Stress Reduction for Caregivers written by Jody Olshevski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the older populations grow, an increasing number of people are faced with the challenges of caring for frail, older family members. Since the causes of frailty, and especially the causes of cognitive impairment, in late life can last for several years, caregiving can often be experienced as a chronic stressor. Caregiving is often associated with higher rates of depression and anxiety, and with lowered subjective health in the care provider. With this in mind, Stress Reduction for Caregivers addresses the issue of how to help caregivers manage and reduce their stress level. The book is unique in that it bridges the gap between research and practice. It includes a discussion of the stress and coping theories of caregiving developed by researchers in recent years. It also lays out a simple, practical training approach that utilizes four stress reduction techniques to assist professionals in adapting the theories to their practice: Stress Level Monitoring; Relaxation Training; Scheduling Relaxing Events and Cognitive Restructuring. Each technique is accompanied by case studies that demonstrate both the effectiveness and the challenges of applying the overall approach. With its strong base in research and its practical concern for the management and reduction of caregiver stress, this book is a must for professionals who desire to stay abreast of the latest techniques. It will also be of great benefit to advanced students examining the issues of caregiving.

Book excerpt: HOW CAN YOU MANAGE THE STRESS OF BECOMING A CAREGIVER?Have you suddenly found yourself thrust into the role of caregiver? Years after raising your own children, you thought you were moving into a quiet time in your life where you could start to relax and reap the benefits of a life well lived. Although the data shows becoming a caregiver is happening more and more later in life, it doesn't just happen in our later years. Becoming a caregiver can happen at any time. Unlike a paid professional, you don't get a break when taking on the informal caregiver role for a family member or friend. Not only do you not get a break, but you take on more responsibility and so many more tasks. Being a caretaker will change your life in ways that are difficult to comprehend until you are in it. The role can require a 24 hour a day commitment and is filled with high levels of unpredictability and uncontrollability. It can become an emotional rollercoaster. Finding time to help yourself when all your time is focused on helping someone else can feel impractical and absurd.For the busy working professional who doesn't have time to breath let alone find time to take care of themselves, here are some easy toolsets and one especially easy toolset I found with the help of Chinese Medicine that you can use in your backyard or anywhere you go to help you decompress and start reconnecting with yourself.

It's a practical guide that is enjoyable, usable, and easy to read." Susan C. "The action guide was very helpful." - Vicki R. Why I wrote the Stress Less SOS Action Guide I have had a very stressful life: childhood distress, an alcoholic parent, drug-addicted sibling, tension-filled constant-fighting first marriage. I was a single parent caring for a disabled parent and more. I didn't know how to handle all that stress. I was an emotional wreck. I went for counseling and listened to self-help teachings, but it took YEARS for what I was learning to move from my head to my heart. Why? Because I was addicted to negative thinking. I stayed stuck as a victim of my past and let it affect my present, which impacted my future. My health didn't improve until I finally allowed what I was learning to seep from my head into my heart and then into my thoughts, words, and actions. This book started as my workbook for what I needed to do. In my coaching practice, I noticed my clients often overlooked, dismissed, or were not practicing the fundamentals of relieving and preventing stress. I saw a need for a simple stress management book that taught the basics quickly and easily. Grab your copy today. Start reclaiming your life and health from stress and its damaging effects.
