In this episode of Acid Horizon, Chuck LeBlanc, therapist and host of Couch to Couch, joins us to explore masculinity, loneliness, and mental health in an era of social alienation. We discuss the male loneliness epidemic, stoic ideals, and the harmful influence of figures like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson. Chuck shares insights from his therapeutic work, integrating Deleuze and Guattari, Hillman, and Gendlin. We examine the historical provider archetype, the performativity of male friendships, and social media’s role in fostering disconnectedness. Chuck also introduces an active imagination exercise to help clients connect with their emotions. This episode highlights the importance of vulnerability, connection, and rethinking masculinity in contemporary society.
