Couples Counseling HASN'T WORKED... FOR YOU

Trying to process two individual trauma histories at the same time is like trying to listen to two completely different songs simultaneously and wondering why your listening experience is compromised. True change begins with each individual’s commitment to their own healing journey. Every spouse is worthy of personalized, focused attention on their unique path—something only possible in a 1:1 coaching environment. Ideally, David Lea works with both spouses individually in his private coaching program for the best results. Field work assignments are catered to each individual’s unique needs and through the personal connection and accountability provided in our safe, yet challenging environment, we see couples begin to heal in a way that differs substantially from traditional marriage counseling.

This is Why

"Traditional Therapy doesn't hold a candle to the work that you do. It is life changing. I know so many who could use this."

"Our work with the two of you is changing our marriage. We were at the brink of divorce when we started this. We were angry and hateful. We were wounded and sad. It was a horrible place to be. Zoom call by zoom call, Surrender lesson by surrender lesson, and page after page of journaling, we are digging ourselves individually out of the hell we have lived in for decades. This is great for us of course, but we also have 6 children and 8 grandchildren that are also being affected by the growth happening in my husband and I. The trickle down effect is real and powerful. I pray that thousands upon thousands more people are as blessed as we are to find the healing that you two are teaching.”

"David teaches us men what men need to be taught. I've never done anything like this. I didn't know what to expect. Turns out, it far surpassed any expectations. I have been working with David and I've changed so much about myself for the better. I was myself for the first time and was shown how to love myself, listen to my body, and not be so hard on my inner self. I am learning how to control myself when triggers arise. Men, the most beautiful gift you can give your woman is healing yourself and doing this work. I promise you that you will not regret a single moment."

"I look forward to every session, even the ones that I know will be difficult or emotional. Because I feel safe and cared for and never judged. He listens intently. We laugh and cry together. And I always feel supported. This is, hands down, the best investment I have made in myself.”

I feel like I've reached a new level of self-awareness that has grown my faith, my appreciation for myself, and paved the way for taking my marriage to the next level. I had been wrestling with mental and emotional anguish for years, but only after meeting and discussing my pain with David was I able to deduce what I was experiencing was actually unhealed trauma.... Through my work with David, I was able to identify decades of pain I had been masking behind a tough exterior to protect my vulnerabilities. We’ve been working together for just over six-months, but I feel like I've reached a new level of self-awareness that has grown my faith, my appreciation for myself, and paved the way for taking my marriage to the next level.

"We are covering all areas of my life from love relationship to parenting, from business to healing past wounds from my childhood. You learn how to ask yourself the right questions, some of which can be quite uncomfortable - and this is where healing and growth happens... Over the course of our coaching relationship, I rediscovered who I really am and what I want, learnt to define and establish boundaries and reconnected with my feminine energy."

"Working with David and Paige has made me stronger and more peaceful than I have been in my life. Healing from my childhood trauma was so necessary for me to really be able to focus on my own mental and physical health.  I’m slowly learning who I am outside of the pain I was carrying. I’m happier. It’s wonderful. Daring Deeply is the real deal. I’m so grateful for these coaches."

STEVE C.

“During my coaching session with David this week, I see how powerfully I have transformed from wounded feminine energy to healed masculine energy. This is a lifetime journey, but I want to pause to celebrate the progress so far. I feel massively more capable to lead myself and my wife and my children and my future teams because I have been doing the work to heal. I see the growth. It would have been impossible to experience this healing on my own before. I have a gift: freedom from childhood trauma as I heal. I want to continue working with David on this amazing journey of healing and I want him to impact thousands of other men.” 

Katie C.

I have learned so much about myself while being coached by David Lea. He has helped me identify many of my parts and continues to guide me through the “stuck” areas of my life. He asks me simple questions to help me see what I am not seeing, and then helps identify tools and practices I can use so I can dig deeper into my healing. Each session with David has brought “aha moments” and I definitely leave feeling heard, and with so much to think about and feel (and grow) through on my own.

"The Self is expanding, becoming visible in spaces that have been covered with mountains of heavy, slimy and sleeping parts. They now join the parade and making tremendous noise. My decision to reveal my truth is creating tremendous earthquakes- the earth is shaking, I stay a loving observer. The purge continues, building up to a wave in the storm, expanding its field of impact. My universe is shifting. Thank you for this, David."

KEN C.

"Your message has truly been a catalyst to helping me make the changes needed to bond with Joleene. Our relationship is like none I have ever experienced, and I never knew could exist. I have been putting in the work to change for several years. But you made it all make sense. I want everyone to experience this level of intimacy and bonding."

Kelly k.

"My time with you, David, Daring Deeply, and within Surrender, has been completely life changing and for that, I will be forever, deeply grateful. Your wisdom, knowledge, experience, guidance and encouragement have been absolutely priceless in my healing journey and deeply appreciated in more ways than I have words for. I offer a wholehearted "thank you" to you both, for everything. There is so much value, and such a desperate need, in what you both bring to our world. Our world, and the people in it, need you. With all my love and gratitude."

“This week was amazing. I put everything I have learned from our sessions, parts work, meditation, and my own determination to grow and be the man I want to be.”

chrissie k.

As David and I began working together, I started to recognize the root cause of my unhealthy thoughts and behavior. His guidance, compassion, and leadership has helped me uncover forgotten memories and begin to heal from these traumatic incidents so that I can begin to show up as a grounded, healthy woman in all aspects of my life. It's truly changed my life. I no longer feel helpless. Before I began this work, I had started to feel like I was "crazy", like I was completely at the mercy of my turbulent emotions, and I wondered if I'd ever overcome that. His level of professionalism is impressive and unwavering. If you're ready to stop living under the thumb of your turbulent emotions and start living as the strong, calm, grounded person you're meant to be, I highly recommend working with David Lea.”

I've been on an almost year long journey with David and Paige Lea and Daring Deeply coaching exploring my deeply embedded trauma and as I move into the next phase of life, I feel lighter, I feel more connected to my soul, my body, and my purpose. While healing is a life long journey, I can't help but reflect on how far l've come since my first retreat in Nashville all those months ago and it's almost overwhelming to see how much l've grown as a human, a woman, a friend, a mother, and a wife. Seeing glimpses of that true self is what helps me get up every day and keep moving forward and doing the hard work. And holy crap is it worth it!! Heal my friends! Because let me tell you, THIS IS IT! This is what l've been searching for. I've come so far and yet it's only the beginning. This is where life really truly gets good!

What our clients are saying

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Daring Deeply coaching process different from traditional healing modalities such as individual talk therapy or marriage counseling?

My 1:1 coaching approach extends far beyond traditional “talk therapy” or counseling. This work is action-oriented. You will be led to consistently integrate the coaching principles into your daily life. THIS is how healing is realized.

My world-renowned coaching delivers real, transformative change for men and women who are primed to take extreme ownership over their own inner wounding. Through safe but challenging 1:1 virtual coaching sessions, practical tools and tactics that include introspective journaling, readings from our vetted book list, and my exclusive self-led virtual courses that supplement your 1:1 coaching, I lead you to take captive the space needed to confront your current and past behavioral symptoms/ triggers (trauma responses), build a new relationship with the wounded parts of you that are worthy of being seen and heard, rewire your unhealthy language narratives, and step into a more grounded, confident, and aligned version of yourself.  

This process is both compassionate and directive, where I guide you to honor your unique journey and I challenge the common misinformed narratives that have kept you unknowingly stuck. This process can then release you to effectively navigate the relationship within yourself and the relationship with your spouse with boundaries, authenticity, and confidence. 

This is how you truly heal.

Will 1:1 coaching with Daring Deeply help save my marriage?

No. Marriages aren’t saved. Individuals heal. 

A couple doesn’t “heal together”.  Each spouse is responsible for their own individual wounds. Each of the wounds of each spouse are unique and are worthy of specific attention and consideration. 

You’ll need to begin to identify, validate, and heal the unprocessed trauma wounding that’s ruminating in your nervous system causing these misaligned and inverted behaviors and habits. 

back

How long will this healing process take?

Healing your unprocessed childhood trauma and realigning your masculine and feminine energy is a lifelong journey. If you choose to commit to this healing process, you are commiting to be a lifelong learner. Healing is not a linear process. Healing is not a timed event. There are no checklists, cookie-cutter markers of advancement, or certificates of completion. 

Leveraging our unique healing and growth process, you will certainly make significant strides forward in your healing journey. You will recognize more calm, more peace, more direction, more purpose. You will experience these realities in both substantial breakthroughs and incremental subtle moments.

back

How do I get my spouse “on board” with healing their inner wounding?

You don’t. You cannot get your spouse on board, save him, fix her, or nudge them along. Each individual is responsible for their own individual healing and growth. Each individual must choose to commit to their healing on their timeline. 


You can certainly INSPIRE your spouse to potentially move forward in their growth by focusing on YOUR healing and growth. If you’re consistently concerned about whether or not your spouse is going to join you on a healing journey, you’re continuing a codependent pattern and essentially holding yourself back from living the life of which you’re worthy.

back

Will 1:1 Coaching help me in my relationships with my children, my family, my friends, in my career?

YES. When you begin to heal the relationship with yourself, every relationship around you can thrive. As you heal deeper layers of yourself, it influences different, healthier, and more emotionally evolved ways of being in all of your relationships. 
Your healing journey is yours. Your only responsibility is to focus on you. As you heal, you can certainly inspire others to begin or continue their healing journeys.

back

How do I know if 1:1 Coaching is right for me?

1:1 Coaching is for you if you're ready to heal the emotional wounding that's keeping you from experiencing the relationship, life, career of your dreams.
