#118: My Mom Suffers from Dementia and Won't Take her Meds • The Work of Byron Katie®

Aug 22, 2023

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:

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