Stress is a part of our life, but how you manage stress depends on your Window of Tolerance, the zone where we manage challenges without feeling overwhelmed. When we’re outside it, we may go into:

• Fight or flight – anxious, panicked, restless

• Freeze – numb, shut down, disconnected

To help widen your window, try Name, Claim, and Reframe:

• Name what’s stressing you and how you feel.

• Claim your power by challenging unhelpful thoughts.

• Reframe the situation with a more balanced view.

How am I supposed to give showers without shower gowns? I have a growing concern about this because I give at least 3 showers in a week and each time I get wet while providing this care.

Your clients should have a bath chair and a shower that has a hose. When the appropriate equipment is in place there should be minimal splash back. If a client of yours doesn’t have the above equipment in place, or you have concerns about the client’s ability to sit in the shower chair and/or participate in personal care, please reach out directly to your CSS as soon as possible.
