Doing The Work: A Naples Integrated Recovery Podcast goes beyond motivational quotes and surface-level “growth” discussions. This podcast is about the uncomfortable, necessary work that real recovery demands — emotional honesty, nervous system regulation, accountability, repairing relationships, and learning how to stop abandoning yourself.

Hosted by Brian Granneman, LMHC, CAP, CCTP, a psychotherapist specializing in trauma, addiction, and integrated recovery, this podcast blends clinical insight with lived experience.

No grad school jargon. No guru woo-woo energy. No “manifest your way out" or peer-led program clichés and bumper sticker wisdom. Just real conversations about how people change — and why they don’t.

This show is about trauma and emotional wounds that don’t fit DSM boxes • Addiction, relapse cycles, and what sobriety actually requires • Boundaries, differentiation, and breaking generational patterns • Relationships, intimacy, communication, and the parts of ourselves we avoid • Shame, fear, avoidance, and how to stop letting your history run your life • The quieter forms of addiction: people-pleasing, anger, perfectionism, emotional outsourcing

Some episodes will be structured lessons. Others will feel like a speaker meeting. Some will dig into Stoicism, family systems, or spirituality. All of them will come back to the same thing: you can’t get better by thinking about change — only by doing the work.

If you’re tired of shortcuts, tired of stories that keep you powerless, and ready to build a life you’re actually proud of, welcome.
