Host: Cody Cox, Holistic Nutritionist & Licensed Psychotherapist
Guest: Dr. Melissa Sell – Expert in German New Medicine (GNM)

Summary:

In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Melissa Sell introduces us to the powerful science of German New Medicine (GNM)—a revolutionary approach that connects emotional trauma to chronic physical and mental illness.

We explore how unresolved emotional shocks can manifest as physical conditions like acne, cancer, back pain, and even autism. Dr. Sell explains the five biological laws discovered by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer and how they reveal the body’s incredible intelligence to heal itself—when we learn to interpret its signals correctly.

If you've ever asked why healthy people still get sick—or felt powerless about your health despite “doing everything right”—this conversation will change the way you see your body forever.

• Things You'll Learn:

• ✅ The shocking story that led to the discovery of German New Medicine
  ✅ Why cancer, acne, and autoimmune conditions are biological survival responses
  ✅ How your brain, body, and psyche are always working together
  ✅ Why symptoms like pain, fever, and fatigue are signs of healing, not disease
  ✅ How mental illness—including depression, anxiety, and autism—can be viewed as adaptive brain constellations
  ✅ Why some emotional shocks can lead to chronic illness decades later
  ✅ How to identify the exact type of conflict that triggers symptoms
  ✅ The truth about bacteria, viruses, and the body’s natural “cleanup crew”
  ✅ Why there is no evil in nature—just misunderstood biology

  “Your body is not broken. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do—to help you survive.” – Dr. Melissa Sell
  “There is no evil in nature. The body never works against you—it’s always working for you.”
  “We don’t get sick because we’re weak—we get sick because our biology is adapting to overwhelming stress.”

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

Have you been considering becoming a therapist or counselor? Do you know which degree to get? Do you wonder what it's like in the day-to-day after graduation? This episode is for you!

Your host, Cody Cox, discusses his experience with graduate school, including disappointments, and what it was like to get clinical supervision and finally to get independently licensed and become self-employed. It's a long and grueling process, especially for heterosexual, white men. Listen to the episode to find out why!

Because this is a bit off-topic, it's a bonus episode! But it seemed relevant at the same time due to the increased interest people seem to have in becoming a therapist.

Some afterthoughts from Cody:

The profession is very politically biased. Be prepared for some political trauma, especially if you are a male or Christian. The politics will vary depending on which graduate program you attend. For example, attending a religious university will probably result in the least political bias, but it may still be present because it's part of the profession and [biased] research coming from other universities.

Even if you are not Christian or a male, be prepared for a lot of political correctness controversies. It's not uncommon to be corrected by other therapists or classmates on your wording of things, even if what you are saying isn't necessarily inappropriate. For example, African-Americans call themselves "black," but some people would say it's offensive to use that term. It can be quite a headache to keep up on political correctness, especially since there is never really a general consensus before it changes again. Saying "partner" is another common one, despite the fact that it is more vague and weakens communication compared to "boy/girlfriend," "fiance/fiancee", "husband/wife," or "spouse."

Unfortunately, therapists are often in an echo chamber of confirmation bias. Politics, clinical methodology, best practices, company policies, etc. are confirmed by colleagues, but with little or no influence from outside parties. This keeps therapists thinking they are correct, which perpetuates dogmatic attitudes.

The profession is replete with jargon, including improper grammar such as insisting on saying "resiliency," rather than the proper form, "resilience." Many of your classmates and colleagues will drop jargon to clients and the general public, not realizing they are just confusing people.

You are unlikely to get holistic training in graduate school since these programs are created to meet government requirements, modeled after allopathic medicine. You will probably have to seek additional, holistic training after you graduate, and at the risk of it not counting for continuing education toward licensure.
