Holding Space for Yourself in the Carepartner Journey

Caregiving can stir up unexpected emotions: moments of shame, waves of guilt, lingering regret. Supporting someone living with Parkinson’s, can involve second-guessing decisions, replaying difficult interactions, or carrying the quiet pressure to always “do it right.” These experiences are deeply human. Shame can shrink our sense of self, guilt can persist, regret can be heavy and acknowledging this can feel vulnerable and uncomfortable.

Join us for a compassionate conversation led by Olivia Bauer, Social Worker at the Movement Disorders Clinic, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health. Together, we’ll explore how these emotions show up in the caregiving journey and how cultivating self-compassion, courage, and connection can reduce hurts and fears, as we move forward with greater presence and peace. This session offers a supportive space to reflect, share (if you wish), and reconnect with your well-being.

Please note: This webinar will be recorded and made available on our Youtube channel after the webinar has concluded.
