In this special couch session, I sit down with a few young men to have an honest, unfiltered conversation about toxic relationships, from their point of view. We talked about: What a healthy relationship looks like for men? How do you know when a man is in a toxic relationship? Why do many guys stay in toxic situations longer than they should? Why do men find it hard to talk about situations in their relationship? And what does healing look like for a man trying to unlearn dysfunction? This episode is raw, real, and necessary, because healing isn’t gendered. It’s time we heard what young men are truly feeling but rarely get asked. Listen in. Share with someone who needs this. Let’s break the silence, together. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only. It does not substitute for professional therapy or counseling.
