“Masculinity in our culture is a performance—one that often blocks real connection. Gay men are not exempt from this; in fact, they may have to work twice as hard to reclaim their emotional lives.”
Terry Real
Gay Male Partners & Relational Life
As a gay man in a soon to be 20 year relationship, I chose Relational Life Coaching because it is based on empathy, connection and intimacy, key principles often missing in the lives of LGBTQI+ young people.
​
This practice also navigates dynamics of 2+ men in a relationship with honesty and care. Relational Life works to heal shame and emotional disconnection, and build intimacy through vulnerability and mutual respect.
Relational Living gives our community the tools to navigate the diverse ways we construct our relationships so we can love each other fiercely.
