Dealing with Anger as a Caregiver

At times being a caregiver can be challenging. Anger is a strong emotion that can build over time and let loose unexpectedly. Being a caregiver means having to help others who can no longer do some every day things for themselves and their frustration in that may lead to frustration and anger in their caregivers. This article offers several tips on dealing with this anger so that it does not rear its ugly head. Perhaps some meditation, treating yourself or simply just taking a break may be all that is needed.

Key Takeaways:
