Absolutely love this episode and Nedra! I’ll listen to her on every podcast she shows up on. Her ability to take some of the most complicated relationship dynamics we deal with and provide concise and practical ways we can work on how to navigate issues within the relationships is something special.
It's nice to see black professional women in this space, great interview. Just as a side note, I've noticed a pattern of many men wanting a female therapist over a male professional. I've been told they find it easier to talk to a woman because it's a more nurturing experience. They want that feminine energy and tenderness, even when male therapists are readily available.
@@frv6610 I dont like to talk to Female professionals at all if possible. I have a Male for every single appiontment except skincare and id go to males if they worked in that.
This was me.. Female psych. I wanted to talk to someone who represented the person I was trying to be in deeper connection with. They helped to a point. However, now I've done work in the men's space like Connor's group I realise that a man should align himself with someone who can promote his healthy masculinity - not pull him further into femininity - and restore polarity in relationship.
I don’t know if I’m supposed to hear this. But I feel like this is gender neutral advice and I feel like I’ve learned a lot. One thing that sticks with me is the point about pathologizing etc. I think Esther Perel does emphasize that having a natural curiosity about one’s partner is important. I feel like that helps with over pathologizing, I also like the fact that she mentions that between men and women, the solution can be somewhat more in the middle.

I’ve read both of Nedra Tawwab’s books and they are both excellent. To any guys following this page: Please read them and do the exercises!

Def not a woman therapist, none of my male friends have any interest unless its a male theraptist.
@@Demonvii7why not woman therapist?
