Parker blends her experience as a medical provider, family caregiver, and Veteran’s wife to integrate neuroscience, EMDR therapy, faith, and psychology for trauma and emotional healing. Her new book for the caregiver, “The Forgotten Caregiver of Mental Crisis”, is a comprehensive and compassionate guide for the caregiver fighting for their loved one’s life and healing against PTSD and suicidal crisis. It comes out of her personal story of crisis caregiving and blends practical strategies, evidence-based practices, and personal lived experience to empower and support the caregiver in navigating crisis and trauma healing. With 6 chapters focused solely on the caregiver caring for themselves, this book allows the forgotten caregiver to have the support and permission to finally care for themselves too, while offering guidance and compassionate ways to do so. She counts it an honor to come alongside the caregiver in their story and struggle. Amber is passionate about authenticity, trauma healing, and helping the one who is unseen to feel valued, empowered, and seen. Her signature saying is: “You are not alone in your battle. Not anymore.” Connect at: amberjparker.com
