Summary

Themes: Relationships, Conflict, Patriarchy, Individualism, Sexuality, Masculinity Summary: Today I'm honoured to welcome Terry Real back on the podcast. An internationally recognized family therapist, speaker, and author, and the founder of the Relational Life Institute (RLI), Real has worked with thousands of individuals, couples, and fellow therapists to help people create the connection they desire in relationships. His groundbreaking, bestselling book, I Don’t Want to Talk About It: Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression, established him as one of the most respected voices in the treatment of men and male depression and his expertise on men’s mental health and relationship issues have been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, 20/20, The Oprah Winfrey Show and in The New York Times, among many others. In his practice, Real works with couples on the brink of disaster; he sees how individualism and patriarchy poisons our most intimate relationships. The excellent news: warmer, closer, more passionate relationships are possible if you have the right tools. In Terry's new book, US: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship, he shows people how to stop working on themselves as individuals and start working on their relationship as a couple. Discover: How to move beyond your traumas and stressors and shift from thinking in terms of me and you to a different consciousness - the consciousness of us How patriarchy poisons our intimate relationships What's happening in your body when you're activated in conflict — plus scripts to help you move beyond your knee-jerk reactions and into your wiser, more collaborative self What's really behind defensiveness How men are programmed to squash what is most needed in their intimate relationships: vulnerability Links: Check out Terry's first episode on the Mark Groves Podcast: The End of Women Caretaking Men terryreal.com US: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship Sponsors: Cured Nutrition | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% all products at curednutrition.com/createthelove Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at organifi.com/createthelove Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Mark Groves.
0:07.4	I'm a human connection specialist and founder of Create the Love.
0:11.3	At an early point in my life, I became obsessed with understanding relationships, the intricacies
0:16.1	of how people connect.
0:18.1	And through this exploration, I have created a life and a business dedicated
0:21.8	to learning out loud and exploring how we interact with each other and the world. This podcast
0:27.7	brings the world's top thought leaders, spiritual luminaries, physicians, scientists, researchers,
0:33.1	bestselling authors and health and wellness experts under one roof to discuss the good, the bad,
0:39.1	the messy, and of course the beautiful parts of the human experience.
0:42.9	Welcome to the Mark Groves podcast.
0:44.8	I can't wait to dive in with you.
0:53.3	So right before I sat down to get some work done this afternoon, I experienced that classic
0:58.0	afternoon crash. You know, my energy was dropping and I could feel that my brain was sort of like,
1:03.8	are we going to do this? And I don't drink caffeine very often anymore. I don't want to be
1:09.4	dependent on it. I might have a coffee once a
1:11.7	week. And the reason is I don't want to have to be like, oh, I need a coffee to get through this
1:16.0	afternoon. I felt like that was just another form of addiction. And I like my body and my mind to be
1:21.2	free from the necessity of things in order to show up and perform. And so one thing that I've done in order to replace coffee
1:29.8	and still get energy and also nutrition is I've been taking Organify Red Juice. It's got 13 superfoods.
1:36.4	It's fully organic. It's got no caffeine, just two grams of sugar that come from freeze, dried
1:41.4	berries. And so not only does it provide me with energy, but it's actually super delicious and super easy to make. You just, in 30 seconds, you just open it up, mix it with some water, and drink it down. And as I said, it tastes so great. So if you want to save 25% off red juice, this sounds like it be a good fit for you if you're trying to kick coffee or whatever. Check it out. Go to Organify.com slash create the love and that's or G-A-N-I-F-I-com
2:10.6	slash create the love. Go check it out. You save 25% on all the good stuff.
