Let’s begin with a group I understand intimately—caregivers. I’ve walked that path, showing up for others with love and dedication, while learning, sometimes the hard way, that showing up for myself is just as essential.
You may not think of yourself as a "caregiver," however if you're consistently present for others, as a parent, teacher, therapist, health care professional, or the emotional anchor in your family, you carry that role. And when additional layers are involved, such as caring for someone with mental or physical health needs, supporting gifted, twice-exceptional, or neurodiverse loved ones, navigating trauma, or managing the impacts of addiction in the family, the weight only deepens.
I can relate. I've held these roles with devotion, yet also at a cost. Reconnecting with myself wasn’t optional, it was vital. And it changed the way I live.
The Silent Weight of Caregivers: Whether you’re caring for children, aging parents, students, clients, or patients, your days revolve around meeting others’ needs. The emotional, physical, and mental demands often go unseen and unspoken. Compassion fatigue, burnout, and the effects of long-term stress are common, and frequently invalidated, even when you advocate for yourself.
When Caring Leads to Disconnection: In giving so much of yourself, it’s easy to become disconnected from your own needs, voice, and identity. What once felt purposeful can start to feel depleted. Many caregivers describe feeling like they’re just getting through the day rather than living fully.
Reconnection Is Not a Luxury, It's Essential: Dr. Kristin Neff’s research on self-compassion reminds us that sustainable care for others begins with caring for ourselves. Reconnection isn’t indulgent, it’s foundational. When you nurture your own well-being, you increase your capacity to support others with clarity, presence, and strength.
A Path to Balance: At Zaretsky Wellness, our Signature Hypnotherapy Coaching Program is designed to release the subconscious beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of overextension, self-neglect, and stress. The process fosters emotional balance, clarity, self-attunement, and healthy habits.
One powerful tool within this process is self-hypnosis. My book, Secrets of Self-Hypnosis: Discover the Keys to Resilience by Unlocking the Power of Your Own Mind, offers accessible practices that build internal resilience, calm, and emotional regulation.
