There can be a tremendous amount of emotion (guilt, anger, anxiety, grief, etc.) in the life of family caregivers. Have you ever wondered if you’d benefit from talking about your experience with a licensed therapist or counselor? Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Kathleen Lyons is my guest on this episode. Kathleen provides very helpful information about when and how professional counselors may support family caregivers. She explains the basics of talk therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy. Her perspective on “compassion fatigue,” a huge issue among caregivers, is particularly insightful. She also addresses the typical length of time caregivers might need support, as well as how the cost of therapy is handled in her group. Kathleen is affiliated with Truth in Love Counseling & Care, a group of Christian counselors with offices in Bloomington/Normal and Springfield, IL.
