Understanding the Role of the Caregiver in Extreme Situations.
The role of the caregiver is one that is often overshadowed by the patients themselves, yet studies have shown that the impact of caring for someone, regardless of the specific circumstances, can carry a heavy burden in itself, emotionally, psychologically and physiologically, which often goes completely undetected, other than by the caregiver themselves..
In this video, I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Christine Sapienza, Provost, Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs at Jacksonville University, Florida. Dr. Sapienza is highly respected in the field of voice, respiratory muscle strength training, swallow function, and neurodegenerative diseases..
In this video, Dr. Sapienza and I discuss many topics in detail, as they relate to the situation we are all experiencing collectively and also in general. We cover topics from Parkinson’s disease and speech therapy, the role and emotional burden of the caregiver and the attention it deserves, how to navigate the current global situation effectively when it comes to those who are most vulnerable, as well as the gradual decline we’ve seen in history of family unity and the impact on our brains and behavior caused by mobile devices and social media. This is a fascinating interview and one with a lot of takeaways that we need to pay particular attention to. Not only are Dr. Sapienza’s insights and studies profound, they are also at once surprising, heartfelt and encouraging. My sincere gratitude goes out to Dr. Sapienza for her time and for sharing her extensive knowledge so generously..
