🧸 Identifying, Managing and Reducing caregiver burnout 🧸

Caregiver Burnout is a condition that often appears with many of the same symptoms of depression and anxiety when a Caregiver of any type becomes physically, emotionally, or mentally strained or even exhausted. It's even so well known that even interabled relationship couples go through individual as well as couples counseling to try to combat it's frequency. While our relationships may not necessarily involve physical limitations, disabilities, impairments, or medical conditions it does seem that a heavy emotional, physical, and even financial dependency upon a sole Caregiver is typically desired. Even though that dependency is desired by both/all parties involved in the partnership it can still place a strain after long-term care upon the primary Caregiver.

There will be times where a Caregiver is going to feel overwhelmed and needs some type of break or reduced task list. This is normal and should be accepted by the little as okay. All littles need to be educated about this situation so that it can be dealt with as it comes, and couples should work together before this occurs so that a plan of action can be more easily followed.

The little should acknowledge their partner's need for a break or responsibilities reduction. The little should attempt to meet this need, and show appreciation toward their Caregiver for what they have done and/or continue to do for them. It's helpful if the little identifies things their Caregiver does for them that their Caregiver doesn't exactly prefer to be doing so that the little can easily remove this from the Caregiver's regular routine or show more appreciation for when the Caregiver still actions this responsibility.

A little can show appreciation for a Caregiver's care through some of these methods:

● Words of encouragement and love.

● Verbally recognizing the specific care that has been exchanged and thanking their Caregiver.

● Artwork or crafts created in the thought of appreciation.

● Hugs, kisses, and physical displays of love.

● Taking on tasks on behalf of the Caregiver (such as making a meal for them or completing a chore on their behalf).

● Spending more time doing the Caregiver's favorite or preferred activities.

● Prioritizing your Caregiver by canceling other events or rearranging your own schedule to do something enjoyable with them.

● Gifts (monetary like a gift card, a service like a professional massage, time in that you arrange for them to make their own personal plans freely with no major responsibilities for a period of time, or physical like an item they've wanted).
