Katherine Ann Cantrell - Is Healing Decades Of Trauma Even Possible?
Talking points: trauma, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, trauma culture, therapy
I was connected to Katherine Ann through my own mentor, the incredible gestalt therapist Duey Freeman. Her story is intense, powerful, and most importantly, it's shows the importance and possibilities inherent in trauma work and group work. I applaud Katherine Ann for coming forward and sharing her story.
[00:01:12] - Katherine Ann's defining moment
[00:08:50] - the role Katherine Ann's father played in her life
[00:15:12] - Were you believed about what was happening, and how did your trauma start manifesting?
[00:26:44] - How did what happened shape your perception of men, and how has that evolved since doing trauma excavation?
[00:40:16] - What would you say to people who struggle with forgiving what's happened?
[00:45:27] - What is trauma excavation?
[00:54:44] - Do you get the sense that trauma work has become so mainstream it's been watered down?
Katherine Ann is a mother of five grown children – 2 daughters and 3 stepsons. She resides in Boulder, CO with her beloved husband. After years of abuse and trauma, followed by 30 years (thus far) of healing, she recently released her website – see KatherineAnn.com – and is sharing her life story and experiences in hopes of helping others heal from trauma and abuse, and transform from a place of just surviving to thriving in life. The connection Katherine Ann has with (Connor) is through Duey Freeman, who has been a therapist for almost 50 years with about 80,000 contact hours with clients. Katherine Ann has worked with Duey individually and collectively with her siblings. Recently, Duey stated on Traver Boehm’s podcast that, Katherine Ann, and her brother and her sister, “were involved in probably the most bizarre and intense situation of abuse – both physical and sexual – that I’ve seen.” In 2008, in a letter of promotion for the three siblings when they planned to write a book together, Duey wrote about the abuse as, “the most intense, insidious, and malicious case of abuse and incest I have ever known. It is a story of love and hate, of physical and sexual abuse, of incredible humiliation and manipulation. A story that makes you cry and then pray for both forgiveness and healing.” Katherine Ann’s book will be published later this year.

Talking points: AI, gender wars, masculinity, culture, relationships, dating, archetypes, myth
All I can tell you is: this is a big one! Traver and I did an episode exchange for this one, and we always (I mean always) have great, wide-ranging conversations. It’s one of the bes gifts that comes from having old friends.
This is the episode to listen to if you want to hear directly from two men’s coaches who have hands on experience with what men are undergoing these days, and some of the ways we can regulate and manage what seems to be ever-increasing chaos.
[00:03:52] - How social media conversations have gotten a lot more intense—and why[00:11:03] - How this is affecting men in general[00:16:57] - So much bad s**t is happening. What does your average man do?[00:26:56] - What used to be “luxuries” like a morning meditation practice are now tools for survival[00:33:02] - The effect even a basic participation in online toxicity can have[00:43:39] - “How do we get men back engaged in relationship itself?”[00:58:43] - The greatest gift you can give your partner[01:05:16] - Men need myth[01:11:50] - Why AI needs to be trained on myth
Traver Boehm is the author of the books “Today I Rise” and “Man UNcivilized”. He’s a two-time TEDx speaker, men’s coach, and the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement. He’s helped men worldwide to become UNcivilized as they wake up to the power of their hearts, the brilliance of their bodies, and the wisdom of their souls so they can blaze their own path by uniquely blending both the primal and the divine within them.
He is dedicated to doing his part to help end the suffering in men, and the suffering caused by men, by guiding them through their own journey into an actualized version of masculinity.

Customer Reviews
Wandered into greatness
I had a life crisis late 2021 which sent me spinning. Ever since that time I’ve been seeking different perspective and I’ve come a long ways. It wasn’t until later in my journey that I came across Man Talks and wow it felt like such a match! I have personally had profound life changing experiences through both individual therapy and also reading books that included Jungian psychology and shadow work. I’m really impressed with Connor’s style and message. Please keep doing what you do!
Amir Odom interview - thank you!
I greatly appreciated your interview with Amir. It is so important to foster conversations and feature different opinions. I feel greatly fatigued by our current state of affairs in the USA. Canceling and shunning those who question the status quo or current popular stances has to stop. There is hate and intolerance on both ends (liberal and conservative). Thank you again for this one!
#1 podcast
This is the first podcast I listen to every day and anticipate new episodes. I think the way Connor speaks is both articulate and grounded so anyone can listen and relate. I’m obsessed with all the men topics because I love to discuss and share with my husband. The interviews are always very educational and challenging which is different than others. I also can’t say enough about his new book Men’s Work. It’s an absolute guide to understanding men in your life and can help them understand their own shadows so they can heal.
