What is ROOTED IN RESILIENCE all about?
My goal for you is to experience true justification in your body for WHY YOU ARE THE WAY YOU ARE. I want you to deeply know, understand, and accept yourself. I am here to guide you to meet the true version of yourself that exists when you feel safe and secure, and to show you the joy of being able to prioritize your own self-expression. I want you to feel confident being seen by others because you know they are seeing the true version of you. And in just 7 weeks, I can help you do this.

- Build somatic and situational awareness of shame triggers so you can predict how and when shame will arise. Â
- Unravel the impact that âexpert cultureâ has had on disconnecting you from your body so you can rebuild a healthy mind + body + emotional connection.Â
- Deep dive into somatic meditations of the body + a different organ system each week (ever meditated with your liver?) for a comprehensive body approach to healing from shame.
- Explore vulnerability, practice the language & sensations of being safely vulnerable, and learn how to feel safe regardless of the who, what, or where.Â
- Tune into the experience of feeling safe in your nervous system & learn to use this as a guide for building your authentic identity.
- Join a vibrant and diverse community of de-shamers who are dedicated to decoupling from shame and build an authentic, real connection.Â
- Detoxify from shame, get safe in the body, and learn true, unashamed self-expression so you can be the real, authentic YOU!

What it means to be truly UNSHACKLEDâŚ
Imagine youâre going for that new job, that big pitch, or meeting an important client. Maybe youâre going on a first date, or even just meeting new people for the first time. Scary, right? It doesnât have to be. Weâre going to break down your conditioned responses to so many stressful or scary situations and rebuild your nervous system to make you confident, validated, and comfortable. Whatever life brings, de-shaming will help you.
- You feel comfortable and confident in your interactions at work, with friends, and in your relationships.Â
- Youâre decisive in your decisions and you act in alignment with your true values.Â
- You know that no matter what happens, you are safe, you are loved, you are going to be ok.Â
- You have caring, supportive friends who you can rely on.
- You sleep better, eat healthier, and make conscious healthy choices to improve your mood, energy, and overall health.Â
- You trust and feel supported by your body. You have the energy and desire to DO WHAT YOU WANT!
- You donât rely on others for validation. You are truly comfortable being seen and perceived by others, because you feel good in your body all the time, not just when someone gives you a compliment.Â
- You welcome each day feeling energized, grateful, and ready to act in alignment with your true desires.Â
- You know you are the real YOU!Â
This is what it feels like to be free of shame.
But let me tell you something⌠a few years ago, this was not what my life looked like. I was anxious, depressed, lonely, and suffering from chronic illnesses like IBS and chronic cystic acne. I worked in a job I hated, and I didnât have any real friends. I didnât even have someone I could call if I needed a ride to the airport. I tried therapy, meditation, breathwork and medications, but nothing seemed to help. In fact, things kept getting worse. Every year I was more lonely, more depressed, more anxious. My digestion was getting worse and my acne just wouldnât go away. It wasnât until I discovered shame that I began to understand the true cause of my suffering. Itâs not an exaggeration when I tell you that detoxifying from shame changed my life! And it can change your life too!
The REAL Truth About Shame
If youâre someone who needs to de-couple from shame, youâre probably doing things that are self-defeating, like spending time with people who bring you down or make fun of you. You have low energy, feel depressed or anxious, and have trouble getting motivated, even for things you really want. You feel like you are unable to cultivate genuine, loving, supportive relationships. You feel lonely and find it hard to be by yourself. Maybe youâre experiencing a chronic illness, and the doctors just donât have an answer. If you have experienced these things or are experiencing them now, thereâs a good chance that shame is to blame.
And the truth is, things will only get worse.Â
The nervous system is designed to keep us safe, and so it looks for predictability. It will choose known misery over potential happiness every time, because thatâs whatâs familiar. But the unfortunate reality for many people is that when their nervous system is left alone to keep negatively reinforcing itself, they will end up isolated, depressed, and even develop conditions such as IBS or chronic fatigue. But you can avoid this by breaking the nervous systemâs negative cycle. And thatâs exactly why Iâve designed my 7-week program around decoupling from shame.Â
Â
Are you ready to decouple from shame?
âI highly recommend joining the community as Dana shares a lot of knowledge that is neglected in traditional therapy, but extremely beneficial to healing! By her warm and trustworthy nature she creates an environment in which you feel truly comfortable and seen. I have noticed a lot of improvement thanks to her!â
âTina.
Why UNSHACKLED?
If youâre like me, youâve probably tried out all kinds of ways to solve your ongoing problems. Have you ever wondered why these methods might make you feel better for a little while, but you keep running into the same problems or repeating the same negative cycles? This is NOT YOUR FAULT! Before I discovered shame, I tried therapy, meditation, breath work, yoga⌠I tried everything. And nothing worked.Â
Â
The reason? SHAME.Â
The reasons other healing methods didnât work for me is because they didnât address the root cause of my suffering. My shame. And thatâs exactly why I created Unshackled. Weâre not just addressing the symptoms, weâre going directly to the source. Over our 7-week journey together, weâre going to learn somatic and emotional tools to get your nervous system out of your brain and back into your body. Weâre going to give you the resources you need to support your body and help you rebuild what shame has taken from you. Weâre going to free you from what your nervous system thinks you need to be and allow you to be who you were meant to be.
Meet Dana, Nervous System Coach and De-shaming Expert:
Hi! Iâm Dana Doswell, and I am living proof that you can heal anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and so much more by decoupling from shame.Â
For most of my life, I was controlled by my shame. I studied accounting and finance, and eventually ended up in tech sales, all because my shame was telling me I needed people to see me as wealthy, successful, and capable. But instead of enjoying my career position, my wealth, and my status, I was anxious, depressed, and lonely. I didnât have any close friends or meaningful relationships. Not only that, I was physically suffering. I developed chronic cystic acne, digestive issues, and other immune-conditions. And every year things got worse. What happened? You guessed it. I burned out.Â
I discovered somatic therapy, and this eventually led me to discover and study SHAME. I dug deep into my own shame: the shame I didnât realize I felt about being my authentic self. I realized shame was the key to addressing my physical and mental disease at its source, and I dove right in!
Â
Four years later, I have built a relationship with my body where what I think, feel, and believe about myself is what is most important to me. This has helped my nervous system to prioritize what is good for me instead of just repeating the same negative cycles. I have systematically changed my life to align with my true self, and the result?Â
- I am completely free of acne, digestive issues and recurring fatigue.Â
- I run my own successful entrepreneurial business that I love and am deeply passionate about.
- I am more motivated to go to the gym, and I actually enjoy working out!
- I consciously choose things like healthy food, exercise, and sleep because they are good for my body and align with my true desires.
- I have amazing, supportive friends, who I can rely on whenever I need them.Â
- I take decisive action for the things I want and believe in, make decisions in alignment with my true desires, and donât let others tell me what I should want or who I should be.
- I validate myself by accepting WHO I AM, not by what others think of me.
- I am comfortable and confident in my body and feel good wherever I go and whoever I meet.Â
- I am, and love, THE REAL ME!
 My experience taught me the importance of detoxifying from shame, and since then I have dedicated myself to helping others deconstruct their own shame and rebuild themselves authentically, without shame controlling what they think, feel, and do. Thatâs why I created Unshackled, the 7-week program to help you detoxify from shame, feel safe and secure in your body, and experience the joy of being authentically YOU!Â
What People Are Saying About
De-shaming with Dana
"I loved the workshop â it really opened my eyes to why I act the way I do. I had a couple of major revelations about my friend groups / certain people and not feeling safe and why. I've done a lot of nervous system work and tons of therapy before but Dana's perspective offered something completely new. I feel very reassured by something Dana said about implementing change and growing at the pace your nervous system can keep up with and realized I've been pushing myself in my personal development journey for too much difference too quickly. I'm excited to work with Dana in a fuller capacity soon."Â
âHannah E.
âMy healing journey has spanned a decade, with little progress until I came across your TikToks about de-shaming. I had never heard about shame before, and I had a deeply felt realization that shame was not only very present in my body but completely running my life. Before your workbook, everything I sought out about healing shame felt daunting and disconnected from my own experience of shame. Your workbook is straightforward, relatable, and supportive. I could feel the integration happening as I worked through each page. The workshop amplified the integration. Now, I'm less afraid to see my shame, feel it, and dissolve it (I even processed some shame around illness today!) I can feel myself gradually becoming more regulated and more excited about life.â
âGarrett.

Save Your Seat NowUNSHACKLED Is Not For Everyone
Â
By now youâve probably realized why decoupling from shame is extremely important. But that doesnât mean Unshackled is for everyone. I care deeply about helping people detoxify from shame in a way thatâs safe, healing, and nurturing, and I want to make sure this course is right for you.Â
- Have you already embarked on your own healing journey, but you know there is still more work to be done?
- Are you working hard to heal and improve things in your life, but you feel like something is missing?
- Are you tired of spending thousands of dollars trying to heal and not getting results?
- Have you tried things like talk therapy, meditation, or breath work, but youâre still stuck in your head and feel like youâre not making progress?
- Have you identified shame in your life and youâre not sure what to do now?Â
- Do you feel good when things are easy, but you keep running into the same problems, and suddenly youâre angry/anxious/depressed/lonely all over again?Â
- Is this a cycle that you just canât seem to break out of?
- Do you sometimes feel safe and connected with your body, but itâs unpredictable, and you donât know how to feel this more often?
- Are you ready to step into a supportive environment and finally break through these barriers that keep holding you back?
Are you ready to UNSHACKLE from shame?
If you answered âyes!â to some or all of these questions, then Unshackled is the perfect program for you. And the good news is there has never been a better time to take action. All shame can be detoxified, itâs just a matter of showing up and doing the work!Â
And the sooner you start, the better.
The longer we allow a dysregulated nervous system to act in our body, the more severe our mental, physical and emotional symptoms are going to get. That means unless you act now to address the shame patterns in your body, not only will you keep experiencing the same dissatisfaction in your life, that dissatisfaction is going to intensify. Which is going to make it even harder to properly address your shame. And thatâs exactly why I created Unshackled: to help you decouple from shame, learn to be safe in your body, and transform your life into a true expression of who you are, in just 7-weeks.
âDo it! If you are a thinker-type and learn well from detailed explanations of subtle concepts, you will love this class. If you're having trouble thinking your way out of a stuck spot, you'll learn how to recognize the body's role in making change, understand it thoroughly, and learn to feel your way out.â

Â
Do you feel like youâre ready to Unshackle from shame, but youâre just⌠not⌠sure?Â
I completely understand.Â
Hereâs the thing about the nervous system⌠it doesnât like new things. It wants you to do whatâs familiar, to keep repeating the same habits and cycles even if theyâre uncomfortable or harmful. Thatâs why itâs completely normal to feel nervous about trying something new, even something that might be exactly what you need to transform your life.
So if you are interested in Unshackled and think it could be a great program for you, but you canât pinpoint whatâs holding you back, thatâs ok. Your nervous system is just trying to look out for you. Thatâs its job. Unfortunately, your nervous system doesnât always know whatâs best. In fact, it often tries to do the opposite of what we truly need, especially if your nervous system is actually responding to triggers embedded in your shame-based identity.Â
This is the reason why so many other healing techniques might make you feel better for a little while, but sooner or later you find yourself feeling depressed or unmotivated again, experiencing the same (or worse) anxiety, loneliness, or chronic illness, or repeating the same destructive cycles in your relationships. These treatments donât address the root cause of these symptoms: the dysregulation in your nervous system caused by shame. And if your nervous system is dysregulated, it will try to prevent you from acting in alignment with what you really want and need.
How you feel right now, that feeling of believing in something, of knowing itâs good for you, but being nervous or unsure about reaching out and grabbing it, this is a clear symptom of a dysregulated nervous system, and this is exactly what weâre going to overcome by decoupling from shame. This is why Unshackled specifically targets and deconstructs shame, to finally let your nervous system align with your true desires and allow you to live in authentic self-expression.Â
Are you ready to decouple from your shame-based identity and align your mind and body with your true expression of self? Are you ready to become UNSHACKLED?
