The Caring Generation® Radio Show: How to Stay Emotionally Balanced

Golden CO- Caregiving expert Pamela D. Wilson hosts The Caring Generation® family talk radio program for caregivers and aging adults this coming Wednesday, September 16, on the Bold Brave Media Network. The program airs live at 9 p.m. EST. The Caring Generation® aired initially from 2009 to 2011 on 630 KHOW-AM in Denver, Colorado.

How to Stay Emotionally Balanced When Dealing With Problem People

Staying emotionally balanced when dealing with problem people or problem situations can be difficult for caregivers experiencing emotional stress. If you are uncomfortable dealing with conflict, managing these day-to-day situations may be keeping you awake at night.

On this episode of The Caring Generation®, Wilson shares ten tips for caregivers that answers the question, "how to stay emotionally balanced?" Caregivers help aging parents by coordinating care and services with the healthcare system, doctors, insurance companies, pharmacies, home care providers, hospitals, and others.

Gaps in self-esteem or confidence may have caregivers feeling powerless.  The ability to stop, think, and reflect is helpful in situations of uncertainty or doubt. Because caregivers usually possess higher than average levels of empathy, they are more susceptible to taking on the emotional burdens of family caregiving.

How to Get Along With People Different From You

Differences make the world go around. Differences can also make for challenging family and workplace relationships. Elderly parents may disagree with adult children caregivers. Juggling work and caregiving can feel like an impossible task when the caregiver tries to please everyone—and has no time for self-care.  Topics for this program include how to limit complaints and criticisms, how to separate problems from people, and ways to respond to problem people who may be intimidating.

Interpersonal skills are essential for positive workplace experiences. When employees have little insight into how their behaviors affect co-workers, situations can result in a lack of teamwork, poor morale, low productivity, and employee retention concerns. Working in toxic conditions with co-workers and with managers who fail to communicate are reasons that employees hop from company to company.

The issue is that until employees have insight into their behaviors, these uncomfortable situations repeat.  Wilson gives examples of how to discuss workplace situations to resolve emotional imbalances.  Programs to support employee insight into behaviors and interactions with others are on Wilson's website.
