Is your midlife crisis really a failure—or could it be a second chance? What if emotional growth starts right when everything seems to fall apart? Discover how late adolescence and chronic shame syndrome are reshaping the way we think about the midlife crisis.
In this thought-provoking episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay sits down with Scott Conkright, clinical psychologist, relational therapist, and founder of Affect Relational Therapy. Together, they unpack the hidden emotional weight behind the midlife crisis and explore how concepts like late adolescence, chronic shame syndrome, and men’s therapy online can help men rewrite their narrative, no matter their age.
This episode is a must-watch for men in their 30s to 60s who are searching for deeper meaning, struggling with internal conflict, or looking for guidance as they enter a new chapter in life. Whether you're approaching a midlife crisis or already in the thick of it, Scott offers a new framework—one rooted in compassion, agency, and community.
