Description

On today’s episode of Men’s Therapy Podcast, Marc Azoulay brings together three experienced therapists. Dr. John A. King, Jack Lambert, and Ben. They have a candid discussion on grief therapy. Recorded on September 11th, a day already heavy with national mourning and following a tragic school shooting in Evergreen, Colorado, the conversation is deeply timely.


Each guest approaches grief from a unique perspective. Jack Lambert, a New York-based therapist, explains that clients often seek him out because they cannot find professionals specializing in grief. “People want more than someone telling them it’s just sadness,” he shares. “They want something specific to talk about, a drive to put it somewhere.”


For Dr. John A. King, who works in trauma recovery and anti-human trafficking in Texas, grief is rarely simple. “Grieving is often associated with the loss of a person, but it can also be the loss of a movement, a marriage, or an opportunity,” he says.


Ben, a Colorado-based therapist, brings his experience of working with clients who have lost loved ones in outdoor accidents. He leads long-standing grief support groups funded through the American Alpine Club, where climbers and skiers process losses tied to high-risk pursuits. “It’s become an unfortunately central part of my practice,” he reflects.


This roundtable is not just about naming grief. It is about exploring how men, often discouraged from emotional expression, can find healing through therapy, rituals, and connection.
