When was the last time someone truly touched you? Not just physically, but in a way that made you feel seen, safe, and wholly present? For those living with chronic illness, trauma, or both, this question carries layers of complexity that most wellness conversations never reach.

Margeaux Feldman joins us to discuss their forthcoming memoir "Touch Me, I'm Sick: A Memoir In Essays" which explores the profound relationship between physical touch, trauma, and chronic illness. From their own journey with fibromyalgia to broader cultural questions about who society deems "touchable," Margeaux challenges us to reconsider what intimacy means beyond conventional frameworks.

"We're creatures that crave and need physical touch," Margeaux explains, before unraveling how early experiences shape our relationship with our bodies. The conversation ventures into territory rarely discussed: how chronic pain transforms intimate relationships, the revolutionary potential of platonic touch between friends, and why learning to touch ourselves with kindness might be the most radical act of healing.

For anyone who has felt isolated in their pain or questioned their worthiness of connection, this conversation offers both validation and possibility. Whether you're navigating chronic illness, processing trauma, or simply seeking deeper understanding of human connection, Margeaux's insights invite you to reimagine what touch and intimacy can mean in your own life.

Order "Touch Me, I'm Sick: A Memoir In Essays" today and follow Margeaux's newsletter "CARESCAPES" for weekly reflections on healing, connection, and more. Checkout the archive on @softcore_trauma IG.
