037: Healing Trauma Beyond the EMDR Protocol, with Tammy Valicenti, LICSW

If you’ve been searching for natural ways to heal trauma, overcome anxiety, or finally move past emotional blocks—this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, licensed trauma therapist Tammy Valicenti explains how she blends EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic techniques to help clients recover from PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress faster than with conventional talk therapy.

You’ll learn how her method—called Transformation Solution—goes beyond standard therapy protocols by reconnecting mind and body for deep, lasting results. We also discuss how gut health, nervous system regulation, and bilateral brain stimulation play a vital role in emotional healing.

What You'll Learn:

✅ How Tammy’s Transformation Solution helps clients heal trauma more quickly
✅ Why EMDR alone may not be enough for deep emotional wounds
✅ How IFS therapy identifies inner parts holding you back
✅ Why the body stores trauma and how to safely release it
✅ The science behind bilateral stimulation and how it rewires the brain
✅ When it's safe to use EMDR self-guided tools (and when it’s not)
✅ The connection between gut health and mood disorders
✅ Why EMDR improves sleep and nervous system function
✅ How to find the right trauma therapist—and what credentials matter most
