Self-Sabotage in Men & Breaking Free From It

“Have you ever noticed that when life finally gets calm, you find a way to stir up drama?” asks Marc Azoulay, psychotherapist and host of the Men’s Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Azoulay unpacks a deeply rooted issue many men face: self-sabotage. From quitting stable jobs to picking fights in good relationships, men often create chaos just when things appear to be steady. According to Azoulay, this behaviour is not about seeking peace but about being hooked on stress: “You’re not addicted to winning. You’re addicted to the struggle.” Azoulay reveals how cortisol addiction and the constant pursuit of conflict are shaping the lives of men. Especially those who equate success with endless battles. This pattern is leaving many men restless, unfulfilled, and disconnected from true meaning.
