My guest today is Anne, whose mother is suffering from dementia. To support you to follow along, here is her Worksheet. Let’s do The Work.

Worksheet:

My mom suffers from dementia and won't take her meds.
I want my mom to take her meds. I want her to at least take the antibiotic (for the delusions).
(Advice to my mom:) My mom should help herself to get better, and understand that she needs to take her meds.
(For me to be happy:) I need my mom to stop saying ridiculous things.
Mom is afraid, a hard worker, ridiculous, unreasonable, stubborn, and self-sufficient.
I don’t ever want my mom to refuse to take the medicine again.
