As a Certified Trauma Specialist, Dr. Petit offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in his practice for those suffering with the effects of what life brings our way. Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes. Some experience a devastating event that brings debilitating emotions and feels stifling. Others, over the course of time, experience a build-up of what can be brought in life, a series of losses, relational tearing apart, the impact of a car accident with an injury that limits former health, repeated job losses and financial stress, moving through a difficult past with circumstances almost too weighty for a youth to bear, can all add up to a larger picture of trauma. Effective for treating panic attacks, performance anxiety, phobias, stress reduction, disturbing memories, complicated grief, PTSD and events that bring personal, familial, and corporate trauma.
