When trying my best to describe my work as a Relationship Life Therapist, trained by Terry Real (Terry Real book) I decided he does it best. So I’ve borrowed an excerpt from his newest book, “The New Rules of Marriage”   What I must add, emphatically taught by him in his training, is that his words and work apply to LGBTQ couples as well. An internationally acclaimed therapist and speaker, Terry’s work, with its rigorous commonsense approach, speaks to both men and women. 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.
