Read excerpt
Behavior may be the loudest thing in the room, but it is never the whole person. In this episode, CARECAST explores what may exist beneath refusal, agitation, repetition, accusations, resistance, and other behaviors commonly labeled “difficult.” Pain, fear, confusion, sensory overload, unmet needs, lost autonomy, or the way care is being experienced may all shape what we see.
