What if talking about your problems isn’t enough to heal them? In this powerful conversation, host Pulkit Garg, Founder of Aanya Wellness, sits down with internationally sought-after psychotherapist Tammy Valicenti to explore why traditional talk therapy often falls short—and what you can do about it. Tammy, the creator of Transformation Solution™ (a synthesis of EMDR, IFS, and other evidence-based therapies), shares how trauma and emotional pain are not just “in the mind,” but stored deep in the body. Together, they uncover why inviting the body into the healing conversation is critical for lasting transformation. From exploring gender stereotypes and emotional expression, to understanding the impact of nuclear families and digitalization on children, this discussion goes far beyond clinical definitions. Tammy explains how emotions suppressed due to societal expectations often manifest as physical illness, and why reconnection—with ourselves, others, and even nature—is vital. The episode also demystifies EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy: what it is, how it works, and why it has been called a game-changer for trauma recovery, PTSD, phobias, and even entrepreneurial burnout. Tammy offers practical insights on self-awareness, body-centered healing, and rebuilding trust after trauma. Whether you’re struggling with stress, navigating trauma, or simply curious about new approaches to mental health, this episode will leave you reflecting, questioning, and—most importantly—empowered to take the next step in your healing journey.
