The Compassionate Support Pathways
Behind every steady, composed Caregiver is an emotional engine that often runs dangerously close to empty.
The outward “brave face” that so many family anchors maintain is not a sign that the internal strain has disappeared.

It may look like resilience, but inside the autonomic nervous system it becomes stored tension - an accumulating load that demands release.
