Boiling Over: Aggression and Anger

Think Dementia

In this episode Amy builds off a previous episode #29, Keeping Things At A Simmer. This episode focuses on anger with verbal and physical aggressions and what to do when that pot of water representing a person’s emotions and reactions boil over and present behavioral symptoms.

Each episode, Amy unpacks their questions and helps you learn to “think dementia.” This leads to better quality of life, improved relationships and empowered care partners.
