- I invite you to embrace a new way of living: one that cherishes relationships and moves us beyond the constraints of our individualistic culture.
In this video, I explain how our Western culture of toxic individualism and patriarchy hinders true intimacy and how we can find our way back into connection. Watch now to discover how to shift from an individualistic mindset (“you vs. me”) into thinking like a team (“us vs. the problem") to transform your relationships with others.
When you embrace relational living, you open up to a world of deep, authentic connection capable of catapulting you to new levels of closeness, trust, and solidarity that leave the norms of our culture in the dust.
I hope you’ll join me.

This guy is the real deal! No pun intended. Terry is a Godsend to humanity. Give this a listen.
Brilliant, Terry. Thank you for your excellent videos.
This video should be way more popular
This reminds me a lot of the confessional Lutheran teaching on Vocation.. That our individual behavior on earth is best when it is in service to the people directly in front of me.. My individual time, talents, abilities, etc., are not for me to enjoy but for my neighbor's benefit.. As a wife and mother, my closest neighbors are my husband and children.
WHAT AN AMAZING MAN!!!! Thank you for your contributions.
This is wonderful
Thanks for the reminder Terry. It’s too much energy to be selfish when all we want is love and acceptance.
Beautifully put!
I am already tired and fed up of this toxic individualism. It is immature and stuns personal development
You and me both! Thank you for commenting - engaging in this conversation is how we create opportunity for change within ourselves and others.
Currently listening to your book Fierce Intimacy and love to learn more about shame based learning. Can you please discuss that more.
collectivism is better?
Hi, this is Wil, i help Terry on some of his social media, youtube etc. Terry wouldn't say that Collectivism is "the" way to go either necessarily. It isn't about individualism VS collectivism. It is about considering your partner, considering the other person, doing your own work and living, as Terry calls it, Relationally.
It is why I cannot find a partner in a sea full of women. If they aren't self-centered and selfish, they are definitely in a relationship with the ideal man that they have constructed on their iPhone's. Women's video game demographics: Sims, Animal Crossing - social gaming centered around nurturing. They do all their nurturing tasks virtually. ;)
It sounds like you have some very limited beliefs, biases, and your own toxicity that you bring to the table.
Do you use porn? Gaming? Other things…? Then are you doing similar to what you are accusing “women” of doing? That’s projection, and means you have a lot of healing to do inside.
We attract what we are, most of the time. If you don’t see the available, vibrant, connected women, it’s because your own internal landscape is such that it blocks you from seeing those women.
What are you doing to heal, change, your confirmation biases? Negativity biases?
What are you doing daily to cultivate yourself into being the best partner, teammate, emotionally intelligent person to collaborate with another?
If you aren’t, you can’t expect anyone on that level to give you the time of day.
It starts with you.
The external locus of control, blaming of women, victim stance, learned helplessness…are all toxic and repel good women.
Heal you attachment style and core wound and the type you find will be so different than the contracted/limited/polarized view, you’re presenting here
