Matt Ghezzi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, and is certified as an Advanced Clinical Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist and an expert in the field of Chakra.  On Thursday’s show, we are going to focus on Caregivers and their relationship.  We will take a look at the  Victim Triangle and how that impacts not only the Caregiving relationship, but the relationships outside the caretaker, such as Family, health care professtionals, social workers, Hospice care, and colleagues  Through our conversation with 

You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."

When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.

We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
