That may be true if all you do is talk about it – because trauma is stored in your body. In this talk, psychotherapist Tammy Valicenti, LICSW, shares her insights and experiences with EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing - a version of talk therapy where you pay extra attention to the body. Through various examples, including survivors of sexual abuse, a grieving spouse, and a struggling entrepreneur, Tammy articulates how EMDR can help expedite your therapy and help you find relief at last. Tammy is a highly sought-after international psychotherapist, speaker, and podcast guest. With expertise in trauma recovery, she has achieved remarkable success in co-transforming various forms of trauma. Through her engaging podcast interviews and impactful speaking engagements, she offers hope and spreads awareness about how the journey from pain to peace is more achievable than ever imagined. With over 27 years of experience, Tammy has developed Transformation Solution™, a cutting-edge synthesis of EMDR therapy, IFS, and other evidence-based therapies that is more effective than any of its parts and accomplishes in weeks or months, what traditional psychotherapy achieves in years. She holds a graduate degree from Columbia University and an undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
