Shame Lives in Silence - So We Must Speak

In this deeply honest and compassionate episode of Been There, Dunn That, Angela sits down with holistic psychotherapist, author, and trauma survivor Santa Molina-Marshall for a powerful conversation about grief, trauma, healing, and the losses we often don’t realize we’re carrying. Together, they explore the grief of lost childhoods, dysfunctional family systems, abuse, unmet dreams, and the invisible wounds that continue shaping adulthood long after the original pain has passed. Santa shares her personal journey as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and explains how true healing often requires more than talk therapy alone. From yoga and meditation to storytelling, nervous system regulation, and “inner child” work, she offers a deeply human perspective on what it means to reclaim safety, trust, and joy after trauma. The conversation dives into how the body stores experiences, why triggers happen, how we unconsciously repeat painful cycles, and why healing must happen slowly, safely, and without shame.
