How Men Sabotage Their Relationships - Lyn Smith&Alex Terranova - a podcast by Lyn Smith
from 2022-08-17T23:00
Lyn is joined by Alex Terranova, who offers a male perspective on the question of why men sabotage their relationships, and what we can do to prevent it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Men are taught to work hard, suck up their feelings, conform to society's ideal of what masculinity is, and to develop a toughness that matches other men.
- When men connect with their inner feelings, and begin to express a desire to be different, it can make them seem odd when they compare themselves to other men.
- When men pull away, the connection between themselves and their partners suffers, intimacy suffers, and the road back can seem a tough one.
BEST MOMENTS
'I used to think that anger was a feeling'
'We value diamonds. But when you give a diamonds to a gemologist, they look for flaws. When relationships begin, there are no flaws in that diamond'
'I had one arm loose, whereas most men have both arms tied up'

ABOUT THE GUEST - Alex Terranova Coach and Author
Personally, Alex was popular and successful in the dating and social world. Yet, Alex's belief that he wasn't ‘enough’ was the motivating factor in this area of his life and contributed to the "Fictionally Authentic” life he had created. While he always managed to find connected and fulfilling relationships, he struggled to truly open up and be vulnerable, keeping himself from creating a deep, loving connection.
No matter how much money Alex made, what type of car he drove, regardless of how many friends he had or how beautiful of a date he had on his arm, he could never achieve the level of joy, satisfaction, or fulfilment which he desperately craved.
