In this deeply personal episode of Please Me Podcast, Eve sits down with author, blogger, and mental health advocate Cathelina Duvert to explore how childhood trauma can shape our sexuality, sexual health, self-worth, and relationships. Cathelina opens up about her healing journey through trauma and depression, and how those experiences influenced her understanding of intimacy, self-expression, and emotional connection. Together, she and Eve discuss the challenges of navigating shame, identifying relationship patterns, and learning to reconnect with pleasure after trauma. A unique part of this episode includes a guided role-play where Eve steps into the role of a therapist, helping Cathelina explore how to communicate desires and boundaries in intimate relationships. This offers listeners practical language and tools to support healthier conversations with partners. This conversation is a supportive and grounded exploration of healing, communication, and reclaiming intimacy after emotional wounds.
