hi everyone
just wondering if anyone has any help for motivation during rehab?
My partner is still in rehabilitation, and is still making progress. However, understandably, he gets very frustrated being so dependant on carers and not being able to do things he used to do. He will become agitated when carers try to help and will only be okay with me helping, which I do when I can but am not with him 24/7.
we do a lot of things socially, going out to places, home visits etc. but for the past couple of months he is struggling with motivation for physio, as well as becoming quite withdrawn and not wanting to leave his room so much.
I can only imagine how he’s feeling, and I know that to have the strength to continue rehab takes huge commitment and it is a long journey. But is there anyone who has gone through this themselves or with someone else who can give any ideas on how I can support him and get his motivation back.
The therapists have said if he could get past this barrier and put his efforts into the therapy rather than the frustration there is so much potential, we just need to find a way past this hurdle.
Any help or experiences would be greatly appreciated
