A Coaching Power Tool By Susan Haffner
Life Coach, UNITED STATES
The Rigidity and Overwhelm vs. Flexibility and Ease power tool tries to change the caregiver’s mind in order to help them deliver care with greater ease by allowing them to be more adaptable to changing demands. The caregiver’s job is not an easy one. Caregivers need help in order to succeed in their crucial work. Stress and overwhelm can narrow a caregiver’s perspective and cause them to be inflexible in their thinking and behaviors, resulting in even more stress. Ease comes from flexibility. This idea does not imply that caregiving will become simple overnight; rather, it implies that with the caregiver’s flexibility, the care recipient will be less resistant.
