81: Editor's Summer Pick #1: Gender, Power and Relationships: The Crushing Effects of Patriarchy, with Terry Real

I'm very excited to share our "Editor's Summer Picks!" series for Finding Brave!  Throughout the next six weeks, we'll be re-releasing 6 top shows that are the special favorites from our editor Matt Mawhinney and his awesome production team at PodAssist. "We all live under patriarchy, which is a rigid dichotomy of gender roles. We all know what that dichotomy is. Traditionally men are supposed to be strong, independent, unemotional, logical and competent. Women are supposed to be expressive, nurturing, weak and dependent, and one of the things I saw about those traditional gender roles is they don't make anybody happy, and they don't make for intimacy." - Terry Real Bestselling author and nationally renowned couple's and family therapist Terry Real joins Finding Brave to explore the critical and complex issues at the heart of Gender, Power, and Relationships. A lecturer for over twenty years, Terry is a member of the senior faculty at the Family Institute of Cambridge and Director of the Gender Relations program at the Meadows Institute in Arizona. His work shares a rigorous yet commonsense approach, and speaks to both men and women powerfully. His ideas on men's issues and on couple's therapy have been celebrated in venues from Good Morning America, The Today Show and 20/20, to Oprah and The New York Times. A proponent of "full-throttle marriage," as described in his book The New Rules of Marriage, Terry has been called "the most innovative voice in thinking about and treating men and their relationships in the world today."
