Shadow Work for Men: Lessons from Donald Trump’s Archetype
from Men’s Therapy Podcast Hosted by Marc Azoulay
Donald Trump isn’t the same man he was in 2016. And according to Marc Azoulay, that change is more about psychology than politics. In this episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, Marc breaks down Trump’s psyche through a Jungian archetype framework. He explores how the king archetype can evolve or deteriorate when shadow work is neglected. “This isn’t about the left or the right,” Marc explains. “This is about power, ego, archetypes, and what happens when the myth a man builds around himself starts to crack.” He draws a clear parallel between Trump’s public transformation and the struggles faced by millions of men in the Western world. In his view, the dissolution of the king archetype, left unattended, results in an obsession with fear, control, and power. “When your entire self-worth is built on power, applause, and dominance,” Marc says, “things like aging, legal trouble, and rejection aren’t just painful. They’re annihilating.” By unpacking these concepts, Marc is guiding men in their 20s to 50s toward self-awareness, emotional growth, and a healthier expression of masculinity.
