For millions of caregivers, the pressure of caring for others while ignoring their own needs can lead to burnout, depression, and a loss of purpose. In her newest book, When You Can't Pour From an Empty Glass: CBT Skills for Exhausted Caregivers, renowned psychologist and author Dr. Patricia Farrell delivers a lifeline—practical, evidence-based tools grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that help caregivers reclaim their energy, restore their emotional well-being, and rediscover balance.

"Caregivers are often told to 'take care of themselves'—but no one tells them how. This book changes that," says Dr. Farrell, whose decades of clinical experience have made her a trusted voice in mental health. "It's about giving caregivers the tools they need to manage stress, set boundaries, and stop feeling guilty for prioritizing their own health."

The book includes:

• Step-by-step CBT strategies for managing anxiety, frustration, and guilt

• Real-world case examples from caregiving situations

• Self-assessment exercises and practical tools for daily use

• Guidance for building a sustainable self-care routine without abandoning caregiving duties
