Please join the Doubter community for our next Happy Hour, May 19 at 6 pm, as we welcome Dr. Terry Parsons, Ph.D., D.Min. discussing “Pandemic PTSD.” As we move into our ninth week of social-distancing, mask-wearing, and isolation, we’ll have a frank conversation with Dr. Parsons about what he’s beginning to see in terms of the potential longer-ranging impacts of psychological stress and trauma related to the COVID-19 crisis.
Terry earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and a Doctorate in Pastoral Care and Counseling, and draws from over thirty years of experience as a therapist, hospital chaplain and ordained United Methodist pastor. Terry holds teaching and consulting positions at Southern Methodist University’s Perkins School of Theology, and is widely sought after for his seminars and retreats for couples based on his book, The Intimacy Jungle. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Terry presents two to three Zoom seminars each week for church groups and conferences to help people deal with the various aspects of this crisis. His newest book is titled Life-Changing Stories – Reflections of a Seasoned Therapist. The twenty-one stories cover everything from self-care and anger management to dealing with crisis situations from grief to suicide prevention.
ALL ARE WELCOME!
