Resident therapist Matthew B and co-host Sebastian break down and discuss cognitive distortions - the illusions and delusions of our minds. The discussion centers around the most common distortions we have and how they can be harmful and or delusional. The worst delusions that we have are usually the ones we give ourselves. Even though the subject matter might hit a little close to home at times, we try to keep it light hearted and fun in our second episode together. Big shout out to our sponsor, BetterHelp.

WELCOME BACK! Men's Junk is BACK. Today we are talking about ways to re-integrate back into "regular" life after what has been a tumultuous last few years. Full disclosure: we decided to hit the ground running and so this is literally the first time we have recorded together (we have a new-cohost). Lots has changed since covid began and that also includes the podcast. However, I believe that Matthew adds a great dimension being an actual therapist and having a rich life experience. Covid has been a whirlwind for many of us. Join us as we talk about our experience and ways to get back to more than just surviving. It's time to thrive. To all of our listeners, we are so thankful for all of you who have connected with us. We appreciate being able to have these kinds of conversations online to help all of us get a little better.

Disclaimer: This was recorded before the coronavirus outbreak really exploded in North America. It has been super surreal and after listening to this in retrospect it sure gives some perspective as to where we were about a month ago. So, here we are! We are currently talking about the male tendency to escape from problematic and troubling situations and circumstances by escaping mentally and emotionally. We touch on tons of impactful topics that a lot of us resonate with: video games, workaholic, entertainment, substance use, addiction, and other ways we "escape" and "take a break" from reality. We try to make a distinction between healthy ways of escaping versus those that ultimately sabotage our lives toward the end of the episode. Strap up! We are gonna have some FUN! NEWS!

Incels have lately been getting a bit of traction in the media lately. There have been a lot of misconceptions and myths about them and we go into an objective breakdown of who the incel community is made up of and what they are all about. That doesn't mean that our discussion is all about sunshine, unicorn and rainbows though! Vito, co-host, discusses some of his own challenges and struggles being someone who identifies with being incel in the past. This discussion is impactful to the average man in that it touches on discussions about how we deal with our emotions in general. We discuss very openly our experiences with regard to our changing perceptions and beliefs and how they have evolved. There is a pretty hot discussion on how our community and society has evolved the way it has. So if you are an incel? What do you do? How do you improve your chances of finally finding the bond and connection that most of us are seeking? We attempt to offer some guidance on ways you can change your reality for the better.
