Well, we’re finally going there. My first-time guest Amanda Johnson is a licensed counselor in the traditional sense who also does psychedelic-assisted therapy. She’s willing to throw down the truth about how therapy can leave men worse than before they ever went…and how that’s a problem.
Have you ever been dragged to relationship or even marriage therapy, only to feel singled-out, disempowered and maybe a little beaten-up afterward…presumably by a “female-friendly” therapy environment that basically mirrors the family law system? What effect does that have upon us as men at a deeper level, and how do we even recognize it, let alone do something about it?
And then, we and/or our significant other get online and find our “echo chamber” of allegedly like-minded people, leaving us to believe we’re in the right and the “adversary” is in the wrong every time. Is therapy actually contributing to the divide between the sexes rather than helping us form a healthier alliance together as men and women?
Shockingly, Amanda claims that almost nobody in her practice ever comes to her acknowledging their own need for behavioral change. How is this “blame game” habit of victimhood affecting male/female relationships?
What is a suitable alternative to therapy for men? (No, it’s not only coaching.) I mean, after all, a man is only gonna get “scapegoated” for so long before he’s got his guard up about therapy…especially when most therapists are women and might not seem sympathetic to men’s reasons for coming to them to begin with, right?
So what’s the deal? If we’re going to be better men and do better with women, are we just better off going it alone, or what? Stay tuned for the surprising answers…
