In this episode of ‘Your Life After Trauma’ we had two guests talking about PTSD Recovery: What You Can Do To Become Functional TODAY. Tonight, our guests share their unique professional perspective based on their experience and expertise.

Meet My Guests:

Rev. Dr. (Chaplain) Chrys L. Parker, J.D. is a clinical chaplain, clergywoman, lawyer, pastoral counselor and trauma therapist specializing in the spiritual and psychological care of PTSD experienced by individuals as a result of combat, critical burn injury and sexual assault.  She is Executive and Clinical director of the Burn Recovery and Research Foundation in San Antonio, Co-Founder of the Army Spiritual Fitness Initiative, and is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.  She is a postgraduate instructor of combat and medical chaplains for the Pastoral Training Office of the U.S. Army Medical Command Center and School of Allied Sciences, and trains Army Chaplains at military posts throughout the nation. Rev. Dr. Parker is also an instructor of military, medical and mental health professionals. With Dr. Harry Croft, she has written a new book, I Always Sit with My Back to the Wall, the definitive recovery guide book for soldiers and their loved ones impacted by post-traumatic stress disorder. Even in its formative phases, the book began serving as the consummate “field guide” to PTSD management for US Army Chaplains under her instruction.
