Dr. John Price is a depth psychotherapist and co-founder of The Center for Healing Arts & Sciences.

This conversation explores why men have 50% fewer friends than twenty years ago, the crisis of modern masculinity, shadow work, and John's concept of "sacred refusal" —honoring the adaptations that once saved us but now destroy us. We discuss why suffering is initiation not pathology, the absence of rites of passage, and how the things we find most uncomfortable often reveal our deepest truths.

John turns the therapeutic lens on me throughout—a benign adversary calling out my own resistance to vulnerability.

This is medicine for anyone feeling trapped by their current circumstances. Enjoy!
