Co-Host Amanda Johnson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/amanda) Well, we're finally going there. My first-time guest 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...

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
