ABOUT THIS 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.

Control can feel powerful.
It can feel productive. Responsible. Prepared.
But sometimes?
Control is just fear wearing a better outfit.
When your nervous system feels threatened, uncertain, or unsafe, it makes sense that you want to tighten your grip.
You try to control the outcome.
The conversation…

“If my partner would just change, we'd be fine.”
But what if the argument you…
