This episode is on HYPERVIGILANCE.
Hypervigilance as a caregiver is taking is the state of giving yourself for the needs of others.
Signs of Burn-Out:
- Desire for social interaction at home
- Unwillingness to engage in activities not related to your area of hyper-vigilance.
- Reduced interaction with non-parent/work friends
- Procrastination with decision making
- Non-involvement with family activities. You might be present, but not engaged.
- I “usta” syndrome
This is part one of a four part series where I unpack how to be aware of care-giver stress and tools on how to reduce checking out and burning out.
