The Stress Doc has banded together with a group of allied health and
homecare professionals to launch the first of a series of events to
Empower the Caregiver. (See our flier both attached
and below and my presentational blurb and objectives outline.) I met the CEO of
Angel Home Care at a Busy Women's Retreat a few years back. A dedicated
professional, Ann-Marie wants to increase community awareness of the challenge
of being a caregiver and the critical value of home care services...Towards this
end, she has enlisted myself, a mind-body nutritionist, and a Medicaid expert to
engage with and enlighten retreat participants.
If the caregiving experience -- past-present-future -- is on your mind or
in your heart...do email or give me a call.

Mark,
Thank you so much for giving such a meaningful presentation at the Busy Women's Retreat here at Blue Mountain on March 5th and 6th. The subject matter, "Transforming Stress, Conflict and Change into Passion Power" was itself a very powerful theme, and you were able to so skillfully present and guide the group! This subject brought a lot of heavy emotions from the women to the surface. Your ability to help the women work through their issues, and even more importantly, your ability to give them tools with which to transform their stress was truly amazing. The participants in the retreat told me personally that they were very impressed with the way that you managed the group and that they took away many things that they can use in their everyday life. Your presentation helped them to evaluate their stressors differently, to see the positive in every stress, conflict and/or change. Moreover, you helped them to realize they are not alone, and you were so skilled at allowing and encouraging others to give feedback within the group!I am just so impressed with your organization, your presentation and your professionalism. I will certainly hire you again, and the women in this first group all said they look forward to working with you again at a future gathering! Thank you for your time, effort, intelligence and caring. You are truly a gifted workshop leader!!

Caring for Life and Taking Care to Live:
Skills, Steps, and Strategies for Empowering the
Caregiver
Caring
for the person who long ago nurtured and cared for you is an undertaking filled
with meaningful and also mournful moments.
Over time, this intense experience can generate emotions that are hard
for a caregiver to express, especially when feeling love- and honor-bound. Which only adds pressure to one of the
highest stress-generating roles: you’re always on duty and often feel
guilt-ridden – whether it’s because you believe you should be doing more or feel
guilty because you feel angry for all you are doing. And in the process, you can feel isolated,
even start losing your own sense of identity.
Did anyone say STRESS?
Still, have no fear, (well maybe a little), Mark Gorkin, MSW,
LICSW, acclaimed speaker, author, and “Psychohumorist,” The Stress Doc ™, is
here. The Doc helps audiences Get FIT

their stories and learn from one another.
