When Caring Becomes Too Much: Recognizing Caregiver Burnout and Setting Healthy Boundaries

By Viviane Chatel

Being a caregiver is rarely a choice.

This role often develops gradually, out of love, loyalty, or necessity, until it takes center stage in one's life.

Over time, inner exhaustion, invisible burdens, and feelings of guilt can gradually set in.

In this book, Viviane Chatel, a social worker (S.W.), offers an accessible and nuanced insight into the psychosocial realities experienced by caregivers. Through a rigorous and accessible approach, she addresses:

emotional fatigueinvisible mental overloadguilt and exceeding one's limitsthe difficulty of saying nocompassion fatigueguidelines for regaining a more sustainable balance

She also offers self-reflection grids, questions for reflection, and concrete tools to accompany the reader in this process.

Without judgment or pressure, this book offers caregivers guidance on how to preserve their emotional health while continuing to care for a loved one.
