Overview

Knowing when to tell your partner that you’re tapping out of a situation is not giving up, it’s communicating effectively as a care partner that you need to take a step back in this moment.

Adam and Julie Stamm discuss how they use the tap-out method in relation to more than MS. They use it when necessary during parenting duties and care partner duties with aging parents.
