Dr Thompson and Dr Douglass define midlife crisis and explore the psychological roots of it. We discuss the life path that results in what has come to be called midlife crisis. We dispel the myth that it's an irrational chapter in a man's life where he wants to buy a sports car and have an affair.

We talk about the psychology of America that allowed the country to expand and rise to historically monumental wealth and luxury. We talk about how passionate work has led to wealth but how wealth has in turn led to a loss of passionate work ethic. Has America become oversensitive and soft?

In a post-feminist culture, many women claim to want more gentle, kind, androgynous men. But the saying "nice guys finish last" won't go away for a reason. Do women want nice guys? Or strong, assertive, "alpha males"? We explore this cultural conflict and examine the psychology of women and the psychology of attraction. We examine the manosphere and its place in this debate.

Depth Psychology involves the exploration of the deeper realms of the human psyche. Typical therapy tries to change thoughts and behaviors through conscious intention or using techniques. The deeper roots of human psychology can't be accessed in this way. To make deep and lasting change, the patient and therapist must be open to going into deeper, more mysterious realms of human consciousness. These realms are foreign to our culture's typical mindset and thus we avoid going here. In this video Dr. Thompson and Dr. Douglass talk about this type of psychotherapy.

Men hide their vulnerability. Do they need sensitive emotional nurturing despite the tough front they present? Do men get shamed in our culture if they express vulnerable needs? Is that why they hide their emotional needs? Does our culture scare men away from feeling and expressing their need for support, love, encouragement, affection? Is this why men often end up toxic? What is toxic masculinity? These are the questions we explore in this video.

We discuss the highly charged topics of gender and race in reference to sexuality and relationships. How have cultural and historical trends in gender and race interactions influenced sexuality and sexual relations in our time? Is sexuality influenced by race and gender? We discuss kinky sex impulses, and how creativity, freedom, and safety in sexuality can be therapeutic.

We examine the common pattern of sexual rejection in relationships, as well as the phenomenon of chronic sexual rejection for singles. We talk about the horrible consequences of this growing cultural phenomenon. We explore the psychology behind this pattern and ways to avoid it.

We explore how sex has been defined and confined in our culture and how women are taught to repress and disconnect from their sexuality.
