The Dark Side of Empathy: How Therapy Culture is Keeping Men Weak
We’re living in a culture where strength is shamed, weakness is celebrated, and therapy has turned into performance. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the dangerous narrative that’s keeping men passive, fragile, and disconnected from their true power.
Join me as I break down how the modern obsession with empathy and emotional validation has gone too far—and what it’s costing men. We’ll unpack how therapy culture is creating an identity of illness, why masculine strength is being pathologized, and how toxic empathy is wrecking relationships.
You’ll hear:
• Why empathy without truth keeps people stuck
• How emotional fragility is being glorified as virtue
• What real, masculine empathy looks like, and why it matters
• A better path forward for men who want power, purpose, and real growth
If you’ve felt the tension between what the world says about masculinity and what you know deep down to be true, this episode is a wake-up call. It’s time to rise, reclaim your strength, and lead with truth, clarity, and power.
