Your Identity Shifts in Caregiving — Here’s Why Rest Feels Wrong #shorts

Why is it so common for caregivers to feel guilty for needing rest?

Dr Golnosh Sharafsaleh, MD explains it through devotion vs depletion: when we become caregivers, our identity shifts. Instead of being “someone’s adult child” or “someone’s wife,” we become their caregiver — and in fight‑or‑flight it can feel like there are only two choices: total sacrifice or abandonment.

Most caregivers fall into the sacrifice bucket. We devote ourselves completely, do everything we can, and slowly deplete our cup.

In this Radiant Moments episode, we explore this guilt trap and what it looks like to care with devotion without burning yourself down.
