June 30th, 2020 I have decided to tackle troubling behaviors that arise when dealing with various forms of dementia. We often blame everything on the diagnosis and symptoms, but I want to explore how we as carepartners contribute to these behaviors and are completley unaware of the role that we play in this mess. Opening your mind and soul to the enlightenment that you can control some of the behaviors you see and are troubled by, is the first step to changing the trajectory. People with Alzheimer’s and various dementia’s feed off of the energy of the people and things around them. You get back what you give out and we cannot escape this. We cannot change the course of the disease but we can change our approaches and attitude. I will explain all of this in this podcast!

May 5th, 2020 I discuss the real struggle with the reopening of cities and having your person with dementia walking around with a mask on and having to social distance. How in the world do we explain this to a person who cannot learn new information and retain it, and will not be able to understance rules when jidgment and reasoning is impaired?
Also how do you stay joyful when tension is high and you are sturggling with your emotions, and the person with the diagnosis has lost their cognition abilities and feeds off of your energy?
