Episode 3: A Therapist's Journey From Panic Attacks to Healing (ft. Frank Sarrapochiello)

Descripción

Most people hear about EMDR and think it's just moving your eyes back and forth. It's not. In this deeply honest conversation, Dana sits down with Peaceful Living therapist Frank Voce, who brings a rare perspective: he's experienced EMDR both as a client and as a newly trained EMDR therapist. After years of traditional talk therapy, panic attacks, anxiety, and feeling stuck, Frank found himself facing something he never expected—unprocessed trauma connected to 9/11 that was still impacting his nervous system decades later. Together, Dana and Frank pull back the curtain on what EMDR actually feels like, why healing isn't always comfortable, and what happens when your nervous system finally gets the opportunity to process what it's been carrying. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ Why talk therapy sometimes isn't enough ✨ How trauma can show up years later as anxiety and panic attacks ✨ What EMDR processing actually feels like from the client's perspective ✨ Why healing can feel uncomfortable before it feels freeing ✨ The role of nervous system regulation and resourcing in trauma recovery ✨ Common misconceptions about EMDR ✨ What therapists often get wrong about EMDR treatment ✨ Why the relationship between therapist and client matters so much ✨ The difference between remembering a traumatic event and reliving it If you've ever wondered whether EMDR is right for you—or you've felt frustrated that you understand your struggles intellectually but still can't seem to move past them—this episode offers an honest look at what healing can really look like. Key Takeaway Healing isn't about erasing the past. It's about helping your nervous system recognize that the past is over. Because as we always say: We repeat what we don't repair.

Episode 5: The Truth About Leadership, Accountability & Difficult Conversations with Dan Singer

In this episode of The Truth About Healing, Dana sits down with business coach, EOS Implementer, Marine Corps leader, and longtime friend Dan Singer for a powerful conversation about leadership, communication, accountability, and the role discomfort plays in growth. While this conversation starts with business, it quickly becomes clear that the same patterns that impact organizations also show up in our relationships, families, nervous systems, and personal healing journeys. Together, Dana and Dan explore why so many people avoid difficult conversations, how unspoken expectations create resentment, and why growth often requires us to confront the things we'd rather ignore. Whether you're a business owner, leader, therapist, parent, or simply someone trying to navigate life more intentionally, this conversation offers practical insights that extend far beyond the workplace. In This Episode, We Discuss: ✔️ What EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) is and why it works ✔️ The surprising similarities between therapy and business coaching ✔️ Why communication breakdowns happen so often ✔️ How avoiding difficult conversations creates bigger problems later ✔️ The connection between leadership and self-awareness ✔️ Why accountability starts with looking in the mirror ✔️ How core values create clarity and alignment ✔️ The role of discomfort in growth and transformation ✔️ Why consistency matters more than motivation ✔️ How unresolved issues become "anchors" that hold individuals and organizations back One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is simple: The things we avoid are often the very things standing between us and the life, business, relationships, and healing we say we want. Growth isn't found in comfort. It's found in the willingness to face what feels uncomfortable and move forward anyway. 🎥 Prefer to Watch Instead?
