✓You have a complicated history with this parent — old wounds, old distances, things never said
✓You are the one who stepped up when nobody else would
✓You are Googling at 2am because you need to know you're not the only one
✓You want to make the hardest decisions with clarity instead of guilt

✗  This is not for you

✗You are looking for medical advice or a clinical diagnosis
✗You want a guarantee — Peter is not a doctor, he is the man who was in the room
✗You want someone to tell you everything will be fine
✗You are looking for platitudes or spiritual guidance rather than a practical road map

Questions

Frequently asked

What actually happens on the call?
You tell me where you are. What stage your parent is in, what decision is in front of you, what's keeping you up at night. I tell you what I know from three years of 24/7 caregiving — what that stage looks like, what's coming next, and what you need to do before the window closes. You leave with a clear next step. This is not a therapy session. It is not a sales call. It is a direct conversation with someone who has been exactly where you are.
When do I use the 6 consultations?
Whenever the moment arrives. You have six calls and no fixed schedule. Use them when the decisions arrive — early stage for the legal documents, middle stage for the hard moments, and at the end when you need someone who has been in that room. This doesn't get easier. The calls are there when you need them most.
Is Peter a doctor or a licensed counselor?
No. Peter is not a doctor, a social worker, or a licensed counselor. He is the man who spent three years as the sole 24/7 caregiver for his father with Alzheimer's — who made every decision, including the decision to call hospice. His credibility is lived experience, not credentials. If you need medical advice, talk to your father's doctor. If you need to talk to someone who has been in the room, book a call.
What if I'm not sure I'm ready to talk to someone?
Start with the book. Read the Foreword. If it sounds like someone is describing your life, you're ready. The book and newsletter are included in the package. Most people who book a call have already read the book and know they need more than a page can give them.
What is the Emotional Aftershock System?
It is the framework at the center of The Caregiver's Road Map. The core insight: most caregivers think the disease is what breaks them. It isn't. It's the history — the old wounds, the complicated relationship, the unresolved things — reactivated under the pressure of caregiving. The Emotional Aftershock System separates what the disease is doing from what the history is doing, so you can make the impossible decisions with clarity instead of guilt.
