In this special roundtable episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay is sitting down with three leading voices in men’s mental health. Dr. Tamra Sattler is a therapist working with couples and men in Boulder. Jack Lambert is a licensed mental health counselor in New York City. And Dr. John King is a trauma expert and speaker.
Together, they are unpacking what it really means to go through a midlife crisis. It is a term often misunderstood and oversimplified.
“Midlife spans so long, you know, 35 to 70. It can meet us at any point,” explains Dr. Sattler. “For many of my clients, it feels like a dark night of the soul. Something shakes you to your core, and you just can’t ignore it anymore.”
Jack Lambert echoes this by describing the midlife experience as less of a cliché and more of a psychological reckoning. He says, “We may just be looking at an adjustment disorder surrounding age or stage of life concerns. The stereotypical sports car or affair? Those are symptoms. The deeper reality often looks like depression or anxiety.”
For Dr. John King, the midlife crisis is not collapse, it is alignment. “Most of our lives, we live from the outside in. Midlife is when you are forced to live from the inside out. Authenticity becomes the only path forward.”
