Caregiver’s Guide to Easing Dementia Behaviors: Healing Through Understanding Past Trauma

In this episode, we explore vital elder care strategies focused on understanding dementia behaviors through the lens of personal history, trauma, and emotional support. Elder Law Attorney Bob Mannor interviews dementia care expert and author Tami Anastasia, MA to uncover how caregivers can use care planning that honors the individual beneath the diagnosis. Instead of dismissing actions as "just dementia," we dive into roots such as family patterns, old roles, and early wounds that resurface as coping skills diminish. This insights-driven approach empowers caregivers with practical strategies—soothing language, anchoring routines, and environment adaptations—that reduce agitation and preserve dignity. Tami shares insights from her book about creating a concise history profile for loved ones and how to incorporate it into effective care plans. We discuss the importance of reassurance and explore innovative dignity-first elder care models like the dementia village in Amsterdam, promoting purpose, freedom, and connection. Caregiving doesn’t stop with those receiving care. This episode also supports the caregiver journey by unpacking family dynamics, boundary-setting, and managing guilt. Whether providing close or distance care, listeners gain concrete tips for validation, redirection, creating safer spaces, and developing daily rhythms that foster calm and belonging.
