The Caregiver Burnout Recovery Workbook
A CBT-Based Program for Exhausted Family Caregivers — with a Complete Care Log
You take care of everything. This book makes room for the caregiver.
You did not apply for this role. It arrived with a diagnosis, a fall, or a phone call. Now you are managing medications, appointments, and a life reorganized around someone else's needs, while exhaustion, guilt, and the feelings you cannot say aloud go unattended. That is not a failure of love. It is caregiver burnout, a well-documented strain of long-term care, and it deserves care too. One half of this workbook is a CBT-based recovery program for you. The other is a complete Care Log for the person you care for.
Inside this book
- The guilt machine, taken apart on paper: resentment, anticipatory grief, and inherited shoulds
- The job description nobody wrote, a family roster, and redistribution requests that create real relief
- Boundaries, respite, and accepting help, practiced through exposure and a guilt-decay log
- Sleep for interrupted nights, micro-recovery resets, and a home airlock
- The Long Road Plan: a daily floor, a next-stage plan, and permission to think about what comes after
- CARE LOG: emergency information, medication master lists and 14-day dose trackers, symptom and appointment logs, care-team contacts, and a documents checklist
Fill in the log once, then hand the book to anyone covering for you. Use the program to make sure someone can.
