Beyond the Closet: Living, Working and Thriving as GBT+ Men | Christian Chalfont
In this powerful episode of Masculinity Unmasked, hosts Max Wilson and Linda Tilson sit down with Christian Chalfont MBACP - psychotherapist, founder of Core Five Coaching, and advocate for men's mental health - to explore the raw and deeply personal journey of coming out at just 12 years old.
Christian opens up about the jarring transition to high school, the weight of bullying, and the emotional toll of feeling ostracized and isolated during his formative years. From struggling with identity and never quite fitting in, to experiencing dark moments of depression and thoughts of self-harm, this conversation doesn't shy away from the hard truths of navigating LGBTQ+ identity in adolescence.
But this isn't just a story of struggle - it's about resilience, self-acceptance, and the path to thriving. Christian shares how he found his way through the darkness and now dedicates his work to helping other men explore their own journeys with mental health, trauma, addiction, sexuality, and mature masculinity through counseling, coaching, workshops, and retreats.
Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in honest conversations about masculinity and mental health, this episode offers valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of living authentically.
