Coles Caregiver Burnout Workbook: Daily Exercises for People Caring for a Parent at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
There is an invisible system draining the life from people caring for an aging parent. It's a culturally reinforced script called the 'perfect caregiver myth,' an impossible standard of infinite patience and total self-sacrifice that manufactures guilt and accelerates burnout. When a caregiver's human reality collides with this superhuman expectation, the brain registers the gap as a profound moral failure, triggering a chronic cycle of stress and shame. This workbook is an investigation into that hidden system, revealing how to dismantle it piece by piece. Dr. Selene Forrester provides a series of science-backed daily exercises designed to rewire the neurological response to caregiving stress. Readers learn to perform an 'Expectation Audit' to expose and rewrite the fictional rules they live by, and build an 'external brain'—a physical system for managing medical information and daily tasks to eliminate decision fatigue. The exercises are not about trying harder; they are about designing a sustainable ecosystem for both the caregiver and the parent. This investigation uncovers the practical tools needed to trade martyrdom for a steady, quiet competence.
