Although it's her job as a self-help author to encourage people to take good care of themselves, when her own mother began to slip into dementia Tzivia Gover had difficulty following her own advice. After all, the taxing nature of being a caregiver takes its toll on physical health and mental well-being. And, as Tzivia found, even the simplest self-care fixes like getting a massage, taking long baths, or taking some extra "me" time can feel out of reach for caregivers-either because of cost, time, or both.But Tzivia has identified a surprising source of generous, wise guidance that's close at hand, free of charge and requires no extra time or travel. Dreams, Tzivia has found, can coach and comfort caregivers, and offer new perspectives, creative solutions, and spiritual strength and meaning through what might otherwise feel like a devastating ordeal.In Forgotten Dreams Tzivia shares her story along with easy to follow tips and techniques that will help caregivers: * Sleep better and find moments of rest in stressful times* Learn to recall and record dreams* Discover how all dreams, even nightmares, can be tapped for help, health, and spiritual and emotional healingTzivia is passionate about using her research on sleep, dreams and mindfulness to help others reap the benefits she has experienced from living in harmony with her dreams. In her private practice as a Certified Dreamwork Professional, and as the Director of the Institute for Dream Studies, she has worked with hundreds of clients, many of whom have been caregivers themselves. The gifts she offers in Forgotten Dreams will help families and loved ones of those with Alzheimer's Disease and dementia to sleep more soundly and use their nighttime dreams for support and guidance--so they can find meaning and even joy, even in deeply challenging times.Praise for Forgotten Dreams"This is a splendid little book, offering insights on dreams, memory, and caregiving in a gentle and compassionate voice. ... Written in simple language with short sections, this is a book that understands the challenges caregivers face and offers a bit of light for the journey." Jeanne Van Bronkhorst, Dreams at the Threshold: Guidance, Comfort, and Healing at the End of Life. "A rare glimpse into a mother-daughter bonding experience through dreams at a time when communication was all but lost to Alzheimer's disease. Not only that, but how to get more precious sleep during a time of insomnia and insanity. I'm comforted by this ebook. Highly recommend for those who are desperate to connect with a loved one afflicted by Alzheimer's." Sharon Pastore, CDP, Founder, Dream Girl Power
