Hypnotherapist Claims Breathing Can Heal Your Trauma

🫀 You don’t have to stay in survival mode. The same body that holds your stress also holds the key to your peace. In this insightful episode of The Forties Formula podcast, hosts Jasmin Dhillon and Amanda Lim sit down with ANGEL PHUA, a Singapore-based somatic intuitive hypnotherapist with over 15 years of experience in the wellness space. With a background in psychology and nervous system regulation, Angel blends breathwork, hypnosis, and sound therapy to guide people back to emotional balance and self-awareness. Together, they unpack how the body stores unprocessed emotions, why so many women live in constant survival mode, and how conscious breathing can reset the nervous system and create space for healing. Angel also shares her insights on feminine energy, emotional intelligence, and the importance of slowing down to feel instead of constantly doing. Together, they explore: • The science behind somatic healing and why emotions get “stuck” in the body • Practical tools like the APES system (Awareness, Pause, Emotion, Sensation) for self-regulation • How emotional regulation influences relationships, work, and physical wellbeing When the mind spins in circles searching for control, the body holds the truth. Years of stress and survival can tie us into knots of tension and fatigue, but breathwork offers the gentle unraveling we crave. With each slow, intentional breath, we begin to untangle the memories stored in muscle, the grief caught in the chest, and the fear that lives between heartbeats. --------- CHAPTERS 00:00 – Episode Snippets 03:00 – How survival mode shows up physically and emotionally 04:24 – The power of conscious breathing 08:12 – Why Angel turned to breathwork 09:31 – Understanding somatic work13:00 – The APES system for emotional regulation 15:39 – Breathing for power and energy 17:01 – What is 9D Breathwork? 22:45 – Advertisement: Gusman Y Gomez 24:28 – Somatic intuitive hypnotherapy 31:17 – Fuel Your Forties: Nourishing from within 36:11 – Reclaiming feminine energy 39:45 – Advertisement: Cozy Earth 41:48 – Tap into your body 45:01 – Hot or Hype: The wellness rundown 51:02 – Forties Formula: The Queen Mantra Special Thanks to Our Sponsors: 🥩 The Meat Club – Get $20 off with code TFF20 🌯 Guzman y Gomez – Where Clean is the New Healthy - 21 restaurants deliver islandwide! 🛏️ Cozy Earth – Sleep comfortably with soft bamboo sheets and cozy pajamas.
