"Get Closer" with Jeff Chernin, PhD

Hey guys! This episode is all about improving communication patterns and dynamics in your relationships. I dive deep with L.A.-based psychotherapist and author, Dr. Jeff Chernin, about his must-read book, “Get Closer: A Gay Men’s Guide to Intimacy and Relationships.” If you’re in a relationship, you want to be in one or you’re learning from one that just ended, this episode is for you.

• How to balance out differences in power that show up around money, status
• Taking responsibility for our part in unhealthy dynamics including infidelity
• Setting your partner up for success to meet your needs
• Identifying your “hidden goals” and “secondary gains” that block your intimacy
