Doing The Work: A Naples Integrated Recovery Podcast
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.
We dig into:
- 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.

Why We Cave — And How to Stop
Why we cave under social pressure, why it feels so hard to say no, and how oversensitivity to shame keeps you stuck in patterns you don’t actually believe in. This episode breaks down the psychological side of people-pleasing, boundary setting, and trusting your instincts — using real-life examples and practical skills to get better at standing your ground without becoming harsh or detached.
