🚨 Speaker Spotlight! 🚨
Meet Jim Petry—Firefighter, Medic, Community Paramedic, and now, Licensed Counselor. With 35 years in the fire service and a fresh counseling degree from Xavier University, Jim knows firsthand what it means when the job takes a toll—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Jim still serves full-time with Miami Township Fire/EMS and part-time at the Critical Stress and Wellness Center in Erlanger, Kentucky. He's also one of the founding members of the Tri-State Peer Support Team, a lifeline for countless responders in need of someone who gets it.
At this year’s Tactical Tools for Thriving Symposium, Jim will join a panel on Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—a trauma treatment that’s gaining serious traction in the responder world.
In Jim’s words:
"ART works like a straight stream hitting the base of the fire—direct, focused, and powerful."
Forget the fog pattern. This bottom-up therapy targets the amygdala and hippocampus, where trauma lives, and clears out the images and emotions that keep looping long after the call is over.
🔥 Want to know where the damn magic is? You’ll find it at this panel. May 5th in Erlanger, KY.
