"Forget what you've been taught so you can remember what you know." Alan Cohen
So much of what we believe and think we know is not really authentic for us. New evidence shows that much of our behavior is controlled by beliefs we are not even aware we have. These beliefs were 'downloaded' in our computer-like brain when we were very small, from our surroundings. Some of these beliefs serve us, and others do not. A task in life is to discern what beliefs are really our own. Take caregiving. What beliefs did you assimilate from those around you? It is worth considering.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
