In this podcast episode, Boysen engages in a deep and conversation with Will Adolfy, a BACP qualified psychotherapist, coach, and founder of the 30 Day Men's Program about the 'manosphere.'
The discussion centers around the 'manosphere,' the red pill community, and influential figures in the online men's world, with a particular focus on personal experiences and psychological insights. Will, who has an extensive background working with young men in educational settings, shares his journey from being drawn into the manosphere and influenced by figures like Jordan Peterson, to his eventual realization of the psychological and emotional impacts of this community.
He discusses his struggles with mental health, the coping mechanisms he developed, and the breakthrough he experienced through therapy and self-discovery. The conversation also highlights the importance of providing non-judgmental spaces for men, addressing unresolved resentments, and the need for a healthier, more compassionate and powerful approach to masculinity. Will emphasizes the significance of internal healing, empathetic dialogue, and the dangers of projecting unresolved issues onto external entities. The episode closes with advice for young men on finding self-worth and empowerment from within.
