The Pace of Trust: How Safety, Breath, and Somatic Touch Restore Pleasure After Trauma - A Personal Odyssey

In this deeply personal and trauma-informed conversation, I’m joined by Pamelah Landers—an intuitive healer, author, and one of the most courageous people I know.

Pamela shares how memories of childhood sexual abuse returned in her 40s, not through force or analysis, but when her nervous system finally felt safe enough—supported by a trusted therapist, breathwork, and community.

We explore the reality that healing is rarely “one breakthrough and done.” It’s often a layered, embodied process: building safety, restoring trust, reclaiming voice, and learning to receive without pressure or agenda.

Pamela describes the role that breathwork played in memories surfacing, how “secrets” can be held in the body for decades, and how practices like voice work / singing, consent-based somatic touch, and tantra-informed pelvic healing supported her return to sensation, intimacy, and pleasure—at the pace her body could truly integrate.

Please note: This episode includes sensitive themes. If you have a history of trauma, consider listening when you feel supported and resourced. You’re welcome to pause and return anytime.

In this episode we explore:

• Why trauma memories can return later in life
• The nervous system’s timing: “it returns when it’s safe enough”
• Breathwork as a gateway to embodied truth and integration
• Dissociation in intimacy—and how presence can be restored
• Reclaiming your voice as a pathway to reclaiming your body
• Grief, anger, jealousy: emotions that free the nervous system when felt safely
• Consent, pacing, and the body’s right to stop
• The difference between touch with agenda vs touch with reverence
• Receiving without performing: re-imprinting safe, supportive intimacy
• Why disclosure requires discernment—and the importance of safe support
