Psychotherapist and educator Dee Dee Goldpaugh joins me to explore how psychedelics can support survivors of sexual trauma in reclaiming pleasure, embodiment, and power. We unpack eroticism as a life force, the stigma of pleasure in healing spaces, and the nuance of recovered memories during psychedelic journeys. This episode is a deep dive into love, safety, and the nervous system, reminding us that joy isn’t a luxury; it’s essential to our collective healing.
