How Men Can Overcome Isolation, Depression, and Victimhood | with Vincent Infante

Think Unbroken with Michael Unbroken | Childhood Trauma, CPTSD, and Mental Health Recovery

In this episode, Michael Unbroken is joined by Vincent Infante, a seasoned therapist with 13 years of experience, for a raw and transformative conversation about the modern crisis of masculinity and mental health. Together, they dive deep into why men today face unprecedented struggles with isolation, depression, and identity in a world that demands vulnerability yet often rejects masculine expression. Vincent offers invaluable insights into the false narrative of "toxic masculinity," advocating instead for understanding masculinity as inherently divine yet sometimes underdeveloped. They explore critical themes, including the state of men’s mental health and alarming suicide rates, the transformative power of shame and accountability, the importance of productivity and purpose, breaking free from victimhood, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences like bullying and father-son relationships. Through vulnerable storytelling, Michael and Vincent share their journeys from inauthentic versions of themselves—Vincent as "Vincenzo" and Michael as "Mike"—to embracing their true identities, revealing how external success couldn’t fix their internal struggles with anxiety, self-worth, and depression. Key topics include overcoming fake personas, the pivotal "mirror moment," setting healthy relationship standards, navigating the challenges of fatherhood, and finding authentic manhood. This episode is packed with hard truths, healing wisdom, and actionable insights for men seeking purpose, self-acceptance, and meaningful transformation.
