Marriage with Dr. Terry Real

Here’s what it all comes down to according to marriage therapist Terry Real, women have spent the last several decades reimagining what and who they can be. Men on the other hand…not so much. 

“You ask young girls nowadays, what makes a good woman and you'll get anything,” Real says, “I mean, ‘I'll be president, I'll be an astronaut. I'll be whatever.’ You ask boys to this day and you're gonna get the same stereotypical images of what makes a man that you would've gotten 50 years ago. It hasn't changed a bit.”

It’s no wonder that men, Real argues, find it increasingly difficult to navigate a world of changing gender roles and cultural norms. That’s why host Amanda de Cadenet gets into the weeds with Terry on issues including: relationships, vulnerability, coping with past sins, and liberation from intergenerational trauma. It’s all a part of Amanda’s special series, “What about the Men?”    Real, a world-renowned therapist, whose celebrity clients have included Bradley Cooper and Bruce Springsteen, typically charges $1000 dollars for his time. But all we ask is that you have the courage to tap play because this episode just might change your life (for free!)
