The Truth About Healing Podcast
The Truth About Healing is a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based podcast designed to cut through the overwhelming noise of modern wellness culture and explain what healing actually is and what it isn’t.
In an era flooded with mental health misinformation, toxic positivity, spiritual bypassing, and oversimplified “coping strategies,” this podcast offers clarity, accuracy, and grounded nervous system education.
Hosted by EMDR therapist and consultant Dana Carretta-Stein, the show reframes symptoms as intelligent survival responses and helps listeners understand why they feel stuck, burned out, anxious, or disconnected without shame or pathology.
This podcast bridges the gap between clinical knowledge and real life, translating complex concepts like EMDR, polyvagal theory, attachment trauma, and nervous system regulation into language that makes sense and actually helps.

💣Truth Bomb: Stop Winging Your EMDR Treatment Plans
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
EMDR isn't just about learning the protocol, it's about knowing where you're going and why.
In this Truth Bomb, Dana challenges EMDR therapists to take an honest look at their treatment planning process. Could another therapist seamlessly pick up where you left off if a client needed to transfer care tomorrow? Or would they be starting from scratch?
Effective EMDR therapy requires more than showing up and deciding what to target in the moment. It requires structured case conceptualization, organized treatment planning, and a clear roadmap that guides both therapist and client through the healing process.
The difference between an EMDR-trained therapist and a highly skilled EMDR therapist often comes down to what happens outside the therapy session.
💥 That's your Truth Bomb for today. Boom.
If you're looking for additional support on your healing journey, Peaceful Living Mental Health Counseling offers trauma-informed therapy and EMDR for adults navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and relationship challenges.
