Listening

Caregivers are more effective and build stronger, deeper relationships with patients or loved ones when they use active listening skills. Active listening includes a willingness to listen and adapt, as well as demonstrating commitment, respect, and caring ongoingly. Active listening includes paying attention to both verbal and nonverbal communication and can be useful for building trust as well as addressing health problems. Finally, active listening is fulfilling not only for the person the caregiver is taking care of, but for the caregiver themself. It can help build a patient or loved one’s quality of life by having a sense of emotional support, encouraging open communication.

Social Network

Caregivers often experience their social network becoming smaller, as caregiving absorbs much of the attention that would normally be spent on nourishing friendships. In order to have your social network thrive, it requires energy to reach out and nurture the connections. Make sure you not only have “you” time, but that you make time to make new friends, see old friends, or have them visit. This keeps you physically and emotionally healthier. To make new friends, some options include volunteering, attending a church, or finding a nature or hiking club. You might also try yoga, tai chi, or pickleball; or develop interests such as photography or painting workshops. All these things may get you out of the house, add spiritual or physical health and new interests to your life--and as a side benefit, you might add new friends to your social network. You can also try attending in-person or remote caregiver support groups.
