Podcasts about caretaking

REGISTER FOR MY NEW FREE TRAININGMany of us are taught that taking care of the people we love is the ultimate expression of devotion. But when caring crosses the line into caretaking, it can quietly create deep imbalances in our relationships.Caretaking often stems from anxiety, a need for control, or an old belief that love must be earned through over-functioning — anticipating needs, smoothing over discomfort, managing someone else's feelings or life for them. While it can look like love on the surface, it often leaves both partners stuck: one overextending, the other under-functioning, and both feeling disconnected.In this episode, we explore:The key differences between caring and caretakingHow caretaking can create resentment, imbalance, and emotional dependencyWhy caretaking is often a hidden form of controlSigns you might be caught in a caretaking dynamicHow to shift towards healthier, more empowering ways of loving and relatingBuilding secure, connected relationships isn't about fixing or rescuing each other — it's about standing alongside each other, with enough trust to let each person take responsibility for themselves.Highlighted Links FREE TRAINING: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here September 2025 London Event Waitlist Additional Resources Join my email list

Have you ever felt like you care more about your clients' progress than they do? Like you're constantly checking in, reminding, and holding space for people who just won't take action?

How Therapists Can Truly Help After a Disaster Curt and Katie chat about the impact of the recent Los Angeles wild fires on therapists, their clients, and communities. We explore the importance of self-assessment, responsible crisis response, and balancing personal care with providing support. From donating (and marketing) services ethically to understanding trauma timelines, Curt and Katie provide practical advice for therapists navigating community-wide disasters. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk through how therapists can help during and after crises Curt and Katie live in Los Angeles, which was recently ravaged by wild fires. We decided it would be important to reflect on our experience and provide support to other therapists seeking ways they may be able to help their own communities. Self-Assessment and Prioritizing Personal Care during a Natural Disaster or Community Crisis Therapists are encouraged to assess their capacity to provide support, ensuring they do not overextend themselves during a crisis. Curt emphasizes radical acceptance and forgiveness for cancellations or temporary service disruptions caused by disasters. Katie highlights the importance of therapists taking care of themselves before offering services, noting the potential for long-term impacts on both providers and clients. How to Market Therapy during a crisis without feeling like an ambulance chaser Curt and Katie stress the importance of donating services ethically, avoiding lead generation tactics or branding during a crisis. They discuss reviewing scheduled marketing campaigns to ensure sensitivity to the current situation. Therapists are encouraged to work with established organizations (like the Red Cross) to maximize the impact of their efforts. Curt and Katie discuss the risks of using disasters to build personal brands and stress focusing solely on service and support. They suggest volunteering with experienced organizations to avoid complications and maximize resources for those in need. Recognizing Individual Needs and Trauma Timelines for disaster survivors Not all clients experience or process trauma in the same way; therapists must tailor their support to individual needs and stages of impact. Curt shares insights from his experience supporting clients after the Boston Marathon bombing, emphasizing the importance of addressing varying levels of trauma severity. Katie highlights the need for long-term care systems to address ongoing trauma responses. How Therapists can balance Caretaking and Personal Needs during a disaster Curt shares his experience of being overwhelmed by personal messages and work demands during the crisis. Katie emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and giving oneself permission to focus on personal care. Therapists are reminded that they are part of the crisis too and should ensure they meet their own needs before taking on the caretaker role.

Were hunter gatherers patriarchal or matriarchal? Neither.I had the privilege of hosting Elena Bridgers on the show to have a conversation about understanding our evolutionary past as hunter gatherers. Elena is a science writer, content creator and mom of two with a special fascination in hunter-gatherer societies and human evolution, specifically as it relates to motherhood. Elena has published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and major media outlets on these topics, grown an Instagram following from 0 to over 50,000 in just a few months, and is working on a book. We dove into how motherhood has always been at the heart of societal structures until very recently. What was motherhood like in our evolutionary past? Why does motherhood feel so hard for many women in the modern context? Exploring immediate return tribes versus those who stockpile resources. How much leisure time did our ancestors have? Understanding the beginnings of the warrior class and why were immediate return hunter gatherers serial monogamists?

We are taught, directly or indirectly, that we are responsible for their experience. This is not true. In this episode, we're talking about what sexual caretaking is, where it comes from, the impact it has on our relationships, and how we can shift this dynamic to create something healthier and more fulfilling for both partners.

In this episode of the mibo show, Shanti Das speaks with actress, host and caretaker Yvette Nicole Brown about her journey as an Alzheimer's caretaker and advocate. Brown discusses her years of taking care of her father and the ups and downs that come with caring for a loved one. Shanti also opens up about her own personal experience as a caretaker. Both women offer honest insight and advice to people who are going through the same situation in their lives. 21.3% of Black people over 70 live with Alzheimer's. This is true. According to the Alzheimer's Association, 21.3% of Black Americans ages 70 and older are living with Alzheimer's. This statistic is also referenced by UC Davis Health. 1 in 5 people are doing some sort of role as a caregiver. This is true. According to AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving, more than 1 in 5 adults – roughly 53 million adult Americans – are unpaid family caregivers. A study by the Rosalynn Carter Center also shows as much as 22% of the U.S. workforce is composed of family caregivers. Those who are caregiving are more prone to mental stress than those who aren't. This is true. According to Mayo Clinic, caregivers report higher levels of stress than people who are not caregivers. Additionally, a study found in the National Library of Medicine reports caregiving has all the features of a chronic stress experience and can be used as a model for studying the health effects of chronic stress.

Her oldest son, who's been struggling with substance misuse for eight years, has recently been expressing suicidal ideation.

Are you constantly putting others' needs above your own? It's time to reclaim your worth and set boundaries.  In this powerful episode, Brig tackles the deeply ingrained issue of caretaking, especially among black women and marginalized identities. Raised to believe that our worth is tied to taking care of others, we often find ourselves prioritizing everyone else's needs above our own. Brig explores how this conditioning affects our intimate relationships, parenting, and overall mental health. She challenges us to question the societal norms that dictate our roles as caretakers and the emotional toll it takes on us. Brig emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and allowing others to face the consequences of their actions. By doing so, we not only free ourselves from unnecessary stress but also give others the opportunity to grow and take responsibility for their own lives. If you're tired of the endless cycle of caretaking and ready to reclaim your value, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how to break the cycle of caretaking and focus on your personal growth.

This is a personal episode. I have been dealing with a lot of challenges with those that I love. Those that are in different seasons of life that do not have the control that they once had over illness, disease or the medical reports. As a child, I had situations that allowed me to make a healthy decision to become the support for those that were dealing with situations that they could not control. This decision became one of the most important decisions of my life. I made a decision to support my mom as my mom. The diagnosis given by a doctor explain the symptoms of the illness; not the character of the caretaker. Listen in to hear my thoughts and form your own opinions that create the reality that will make all the difference for you. Thanks for listening.

Are you involved with someone who can't seem to manage without you? Do you use a lot of energy to solve other's problems?  Consider what you can do. You can love another person but let them manage themself. You can let go of telling   yourself that you know better (even if you do sometimes).This is setting a boundary; a strong place that is both separate and connected to others. This kind of connection is between individuals who know (as best they can) who they are and who they believe the other to be.  Check out this episode to rethink rescuing or carrying another person. Support the Show.Be Encouraged podcast is practical, in the moment, quick encouragement.
