In this episode of the EZ Conversations Podcast, Dr. John King shares his harrowing yet inspirational journey from being trafficked and sexually abused as a child to becoming a resilient survivor and advocate. Dr. King delves into the underrepresented issue of male sexual abuse, the importance of recovery, and the creation of an online community to support trauma survivors. He emphasizes the need to speak up, build personal resilience, and engage in honest conversations about trauma and mental health. Dr. King also discusses the role of faith in his recovery, the impact of his advocacy work, and his new memoir 'Deal With It.' The podcast highlights the significance of authenticity and overarching societal issues related to trauma and recovery.

Dr. John A. King is an author, survivor, and builder of communities that help men move from trauma to traction. He wrote #dealwithit, leads the Phoenix Collective, and runs Man Church, a straight-talk space for faith and brotherhood. His advocacy and award-winning documentaries support anti-trafficking efforts, and his novels (Rats and Rain, Sins of the Father) bring a storyteller’s edge to hard truths. John keeps it practical: simple habits, honest conversation, and tools listeners can start right away.
