    Post Traumatic Parenting and Breaking the Trauma Cycle

    Dr. Robyn Koslowitz joins Betsy Wurzel for a powerful conversation about Post Traumatic Parenting. Drawing from her own childhood trauma and her work as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Koslowitz explains how unhealed pain from the past can shape parenting styles today — and how caregivers can begin to break the cycle. They discuss the different Post-Traumatic Parenting types outlined in her book, including:
    • The Entangled Parent
    • The Perfectionist Parent
    • The Paralyzed Parent
    • The Survivor Parent
    Betsy shares her own story of caregiving PTSD and the difference between witnessing death as a nurse versus losing her husband. This emotional and insightful conversation reminds us that healing starts with awareness — and that “you have to reveal it to heal it.”

  • How Dementia Education Changes the Caregiving Experience

    How Dementia Education Changes the Caregiving Experience

    In this deeply personal and informative episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel interviews dementia care expert Pat Hobson about why Alzheimer’s Dementia Caregiver Education matters when families are overwhelmed and resources feel hard to find.

    They discuss how understanding a diagnosis can help caregivers advocate for their loved one and themselves, and how education prepares families for challenges such as hallucinations, agitation, and sundowning. Betsy also shares how the lack of guidance during her mother-in-law’s hallucinations left her unsure what to do—and how education later made a profound difference when her husband Matt experienced hallucinations.

    Pat introduces her book, Enabling People With Dementia, and explains person-centred care: focusing on strengths, listening deeply, and creating meaningful activities while understanding progression.

    The episode also addresses caregiver burnout, self-care, and the kinds of practical support available to reduce stress at home and in care settings. For more information and resources: https://www.pmhcande.com/
