Partner, Patient, Caregiver: to Love, to Honor, and to Negotiate in Sickness and in Health

Listen to “Partner, Patient, Caregiver: to Love, to Honor, and to Negotiate in Sickness and in Health” on Spreaker.

Relationships — spouse, partner, and even friendships — are hard enough even in the best times. Add in a chronic or long-term condition, where one becomes a caregiver, and you add a new, unexpected dimension of roles. And one that often comes with little to no training!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Sharon Sayler chats with Michael Grinder. Michael, a master of communication, shares with Sharon from his long-running Couples Workshop ‘To Love, To Honor, and To Negotiate.’

After 21 years of presenting his Couples Workshop, Michael has a multitude of insights and ways to make sure the inevitable changes are mutual and fair and create a safe space for both parties including
• Creating daily support interactions to improve psychological well-being
• Ways to make sure the diagnosis doesn’t define roles
• How to have the hard conversations and set boundaries
• Tips to protect against emotional and physical stressors
Plus much more…

Now, she's taken those skills, her passion for clear and competent communication, her own experience dealing with a rare medical condition and her frustration with the medical community in understanding what it is like to have a chronic and complicated medical condition to teach others to become courageous self-advocates so they too can turn life transitions into triumphs. One way she spreads the word is through the podcast and videocast called The Autoimmune Show: Inspiring hope and help for those with autoimmune.
