Overview"2021 NYC Book Award Winner, Caregiving What starts as loving, compassionate care becomes an isolating, stressful, never-ending race to get everything done. Inevitably, anger and resentment creep in--toward the person being cared for as well as other family members who don't pitch in . . . or both. So guilt and shame for not feeling loving all the time gets added to the emotional mix. Worst of all, most caregivers have no support system, and no plan for ensuring that they're taking good care of themselves first so they can keep going without falling apart. Is there any hope for a better life? Yes! In Take Back your Life: A Caregiver's Guide to Finding Freedom in the Midst of Overwhelm, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and experienced family caregiver Loren Gelberg-Goff shows you exactly how to get back to having a life, feel that loving connection you thought was gone, stop arguing and get cooperation from your siblings and others, and discover other resources you can call upon to guarantee that much-needed ""you time."""

Gelberg-Goff, LCSW, is an author, psychotherapist, workshop facilitator, and keynote speaker. In her private therapy practice she draws upon a variety of therapeutic modalities with her clients to encourage and support them in feeling confident, capable, and fulfilled. Loren teaches stress management, balancing work and family, effective communication, avoiding compassion fatigue, and achieving forgiveness. Her library of original audio meditations have received international acclaim in their effectiveness at enhancing self-esteem, promoting inner healing, managing stress, and achieving relaxation. Loren learned the hard way that effective self-care in managing self-esteem, stress, and overwhelm is a crucial foundation for providing compassionate and loving care to others. After her husband became disabled over two decades ago, with two children to raise, a home to maintain, and a thriving private practice, she personally faced and mastered all the challenges a typical family caregiver must confront . . . and came out the other side feeling not just that she has a life, but that she has a life she loves. Sharing her knowledge and hard-won skills with others through her books, her private practice, and her acclaimed twice-annual virtual group program, ""Take Back Your Life: The Art of Self-Care"" is her mission. Cassandra Campbell has recorded nearly two hundred audiobooks and directed many more. She has been nominated for and won multiple Audie Awards, as well as the prestigious Odyssey Award.
