Watch first
What this is
Caregivers carry everything alone — often because asking feels weak, burdensome, or they believe they should cope solo. This tool restructures the "I must do it all" belief, then helps you build a SPECIFIC request that's easy for someone to say yes to. Specific asks ("Could you sit with them Tuesday 2-4?") get dramatically better responses than vague pleas ("I need help").

⚠ Precautions
- A self-help assertiveness exercise, not therapy.
- Asking for help isn't weakness — it's how care is sustained.
- If you feel unable to continue safely alone, please seek support.
- If you ever feel unsafe, pause and reach a helpline.
