They dive deep into codependency, abandonment wounds, dating anxiety, and the fear of getting hurt when a new connection feels too familiar too fast. The conversation explores attachment styles, emotional regulation, control as self-protection, and how unresolved trauma can shape relationships. Plus: modern dating apps, vulnerability in men, non-monogamy, and why healing isn’t as linear as we hope. _____ BUSINESS INQUIRIES: business@shtpod.comFollow us here:http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypodhttp://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod Contact us:secondhandtherapypod@gmail.com818-850-2448PO BOX 230595, Las Vegas, NV 89105Cover Art Design: Louie PaolettiTheme Music: Jamie Franks Topics: anxiety, codependency recovery, emotional overwhelm, dissociation, attachment theory, dating after heartbreak, men’s mental health, trauma healing, relationships, abandonment issues, therapy, grief, vulnerability.

Lou opens up about a major therapy breakthrough around self-sabotage, ADHD overwhelm, money anxiety, loneliness, and feeling stuck, while Michael explores what it means to feel emotions instead of just reporting them. They dive into childhood trauma, emotional vulnerability, family dynamics, social anxiety, inherited patterns, relationships, and healing, while asking the hard question: Are we living the life we actually want — or the one fear built for us? A raw and funny conversation about men’s mental health, therapy, emotional regulation, connection, and breaking generational cycles. _____ BUSINESS INQUIRIES: business@shtpod.com Follow us here: http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypod http://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod Contact us: secondhandtherapypod@gmail.com 818-850-2448 PO BOX 230595, Las Vegas, NV 89105  Cover Art Design: Louie Paoletti Theme Music: Jamie Franks Topics: therapy, ADHD, anxiety, emotional suppression, trauma healing, money mindset, self-worth, vulnerability, family trauma, relationships, loneliness, social connection

This week, after some needed accountability from Papa Bear, we explore the tension between logic and emotion, the challenge of vulnerability, and what happens when the coping mechanisms that once protected us start getting in the way. We talk about therapy, emotional avoidance, grief, self-awareness, identity, personal growth, and the uncomfortable process of letting people see the parts of ourselves we'd rather keep hidden. Along the way, we discuss relationships, mental health, anxiety, healing, emotional regulation, and the ongoing struggle to balance what we know logically with what we feel emotionally. If you've ever found yourself overthinking instead of feeling, avoiding difficult emotions, or wondering why personal growth can feel so uncomfortable, this conversation is for you. Or not. We're not experts.

Is it politics, masculinity, economic anxiety, or something deeper? This week on Second Hand Therapy, we sit down with Nevada gubernatorial candidate Alexis Hill for a wide-ranging conversation about mental health, the loneliness epidemic, modern masculinity, the rise of the manosphere, Trump voters, working-class struggles, housing affordability, childcare costs, homelessness, foster care, and why so many Americans feel left behind. We explore what young men are actually searching for, why traditional political parties are losing trust, and whether the American Dream is becoming impossible for an entire generation. Alexis also shares her plans for expanding mental health services, addressing Nevada's youth suicide crisis, tackling corporate tax loopholes, regulating AI data centers, and creating economic opportunities for working families. If you've ever wondered why politics feels so broken, why young men are increasingly drawn to strongman personalities, or what mental health and economic insecurity have to do with each other, this conversation is for you. Topics include: • Young men and Trump • Andrew Tate and the manosphere • Mental health and loneliness • Masculinity in modern America • The American Dream • Housing affordability and rent prices • Childcare costs and foster care • Homelessness and poverty • Democratic Party strategy • Corporate taxes and billionaires • AI data centers and water usage • Nevada politics and the governor's race BUSINESS INQUIRIES: business@shtpod.com Follow us here: http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypod http://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod Contact us: secondhandtherapypod@gmail.com 818-850-2448 PO BOX 230595, Las Vegas, NV 89105  Cover Art Design: Louie Paoletti Theme Music: Jamie Franks
