without the fluff.
Helping therapists and individuals better understand trauma, EMDR therapy, nervous system regulation, and healing through practical education, trusted resources, and honest conversations —
Dana Carretta-Stein is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, EMDR therapist, consultant, educator, speaker, podcast host and founder of Peaceful Living Mental Health Counseling in Scarsdale New York. Through trauma-informed education, practical EMDR resources, and The Truth About Healing Podcast, my goal is to make healing feel less overwhelming and more accessible.
THE TRUTH ABOUT HEALING PODCAST
YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU DON'T REPAIR.
Most of us aren't reacting to what's happening today.
We're reacting to wounds, beliefs, and survival patterns that were formed years ago, often without realizing it.
The Truth About Healing is a trauma-informed mental health podcast hosted by EMDR therapist Dana Carretta-Stein. Each episode explores trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, anxiety, burnout, attachment wounds, EMDR therapy, and emotional healing through practical conversations grounded in neuroscience and clinical experience.
Through honest conversations, trauma-informed education, and practical tools grounded in EMDR and nervous system science, you'll learn why you do what you do and what healing actually looks like.
Because awareness is powerful.
But awareness without repair keeps us stuck.
🎙 New episodes every week.
Listen. Learn. Repair.

Hi I'm Dana Carretta-Stein, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, EMDR therapist in Scarsdale New York, EMDR consultant, trauma educator, keynote speaker, podcast host, and author with over a decade of experience helping therapists and individuals understand trauma, nervous system regulation, anxiety, burnout, and emotional healing.
For over a decade, I've helped therapists and clients move beyond insight into real transformation using EMDR, nervous system science, and practical trauma-informed strategies. My passion is making complex concepts about trauma, healing, relationships, and the nervous system easier to understand so people can create meaningful, lasting change.
Through therapy, consultation, educational resources, speaking engagements, and The Truth About Healing Podcast, I help people better understand themselves, break free from patterns that keep them stuck, and move toward a more connected and fulfilling life.
Because healing isn't about becoming someone different, it's about understanding yourself well enough to stop repeating what no longer serves you.
