JoAnn Burton generously shares both her personal and professional expertise and knowledge of the hero’s journey in offering this workbook as a compass for those of us navigating the life chapter of the caregiver. Her book outlines the various stages of the hero’s journey of the caregiver which helps the reader identify the particular stage they are at, what to expect at this stage and how to progress to the next. Her book provides a lens through which to view your everyday, lived experience of being a caregiver, to identify both the trials and rewards but most importantly insight into what is required of you. This workbook assists in the daily navigation of the hero’s journey of being a caregiver and will help provide order to what often feels chaotic, direction and solace when feeling lost and alone.Dr. Clive Williams, PsychologistThe Hero’s Journey(R) of the Caregiver Workbook is created with love and wisdom. Inspired by Joseph Campbell, JoAnn Burton sculpted the Hero’s Journey(R) of the Caregiver Workbook for ordinary folks that live their life being caregivers for their loved ones. The path is eloquently portrayed to guide them to find the hero within in everyday attributes. Heroism isn’t necessarily some magical quality, but instead a much more profound quality that lives within–encompassing respect, patience, compassion and most of all, love. The journey stages of Departure, On the Road and Return Transformation happen in many different chapters of a person’s life. I gained so much from this workbook as it guided me in my caregiving journey. I am currently a caregiver to my 82-year-old mom, that contracted Covid-19 in the beginning of March 2020. I have the lived experience of what it takes to take care of my elder mom, while continuing to work with my clients in my counseling practice via teleconferencing from home. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to embrace, grow, and recognize my own hero within that helps make those hard days of caregiving a little less difficult. Miranda Calhoun, MA, LPC”The Hero’s Journey of the a guidebook for self-reflection based on the work of Joseph Campbell” is an incredible source for growth. Through the experiences shared and the exercises, the Caregiver is invited to tell their story, to become the main character of their life. This opportunity empowers the Caregiver to reflect, learn, grow, and come with power towards peace with life’s challenges. As a Medical Coach, this Workbook helps guide my client, the Caregiver, to a sense that real, meaningful transformation is possible. It shows them that they can become stronger, overcome inner and outer obstacles, and win the day. I want to thank JoAnn for creating this incredible, worthwhile, and totally relevant Workbook that I myself can use more than once in my caregiving journey and that I can share with both my individual clients and in a workshop setting.
