Caring for another person can be meaningful and exhausting at the same time. Caregivers often carry worry, responsibility, grief, frustration, guilt, and practical demands while trying to keep up with work, family, and their own health.
Therapy gives you a place where the focus can be on you. You can talk honestly about the parts of caregiving that are difficult without having to minimize your feelings or protect everyone else.
