In episode #143 of An Evolving Man, I’m joined by Karen Wilson, author of Atrocious Behavior.

Karen was sent to boarding school at just seven years old and expelled by ten. Her memoir captures the harsh reality of punishment, isolation, and shame — and her later discovery of healing through theatre, teaching, and reflection.

We explore how trauma lives on in the body, how neglect shapes the nervous system, and what it means to reclaim compassion after early betrayal.

This is a powerful conversation about survival, courage, and finding meaning beyond suffering.

 📘 Karen Wilson’s memoir “Atrocious Behavior” is available now on Amazon. https://amzn.eu/d/fWfpSFa
