Ep. 132: Netflix's Adolescence and the HVO Cycle

In this episode, we dive into Adolescence, Netflix’s hit series on toxic masculinity, disconnection, and the Manosphere. We break down how the show illustrates the Hero-Victim-Offender (HVO) Cycle—the pattern that keeps men trapped in harmful identities—and what it reveals about power, control, and connection.

We also answer a key listener question: What’s the difference between therapy and therapeutic coaching? 

Tune in for a deep dive into Adolescence, masculinity, and breaking free from cycles of harm.
