21: Reclaiming Intimacy: Healing the Hidden Shame of Trauma with Juliette Karaman
Manage episode 486589772 series 3620839
In this powerful episode of Pay Attention, Holly is joined by Juliette Karaman, mentor, hypnotherapist, and creator of the Touch Base method, to explore how trauma—especially sexual trauma—gets stored in the body and quietly shapes our self-worth, relationships, and sense of safety.
Juliette shares her own journey of collapse and awakening, revealing how shame disconnects us from our bodies and our pleasure. Through somatic awareness and intentional micro-practices, she teaches us how to begin restoring emotional safety, presence, and trust—within ourselves and in connection with others.
This conversation lays the foundation for the next episode with Dr. Laurie Mintz, where the focus shifts from healing shame to embracing sexual pleasure. Together, these episodes invite you to reclaim the parts of yourself that trauma made you abandon—and remember that your body, your story, and your pleasure are all worthy of care.
🌀 Includes Juliette’s “Touch Base” practice, the Touch-o-Meter tool, and real guidance on how to reconnect to your body and reclaim your story.
