What do you get when you cross heartbreak, internet algorithms, and a crisis of masculinity? You get the manosphere-a sprawling, messy, often misunderstood world of forums, influencers, and ideologies shaping how millions of men see themselves. In this episode of The Brink, I take you deep into the factions that make up this digital ecosystem-from pick-up artists to black pill nihilists-not to gawk, but to understand. Why is this space so magnetic to men in pain? What's fuelling the anger, the isolation, and the need to belong? And most importantly: what are we missing when we write it all off as toxic nonsense? I'm a therapist. I've sat with men in crisis. And I've seen what happens when society offers them silence, and the internet offers them answers. This isn't a takedown-it's a reckoning. Because men in pain aren't the enemy. But the systems that ignore them might be.
