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.”

- The
far-reaching and damaging effects of patriarchy for both men and
women today

children today find wholeness, which is what’s essential for
