Top Couples Therapist: How To Stop Settling For Less Than You Deserve (Even When He Thinks Everything's Fine)

We are diving deep into the real reasons men are not doing their part in relationships, and exactly how you can help change that. Whether you want better sex, or for him to take on more of the mental load, or you want to know if you're even with the right person, or if the relationship is worth staying in, we're going to get into that today. I sit down with Zach Brittle, one of the only couples therapists in the entire world certified in both the Gottman method and Terry Real's Relational Life therapy. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Vanity Fair. Zach is so pragmatic and has really interesting advice on some of the trickiest issues out there. We also talk about what men secretly think and feel behind the scenes that they're not sharing, and we solve a ton of the real-life relationship struggles that you guys wrote in. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • How to get your needs met without nagging, criticizing, or picking a fight • How to tell if your partner can't do the work or simply won't • What men are secretly thinking and feeling but never say out loud • The one question that ends most arguments before they escalate • The 4 behaviors that predict relationship breakdown • The key sign a relationship will survive hard times Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠ Check out the previous episodes of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: Fighting Can Make Your Relationship Better—If You Do It THIS Way with Drs Julie & John Gottman For more from Zach Brittle: • Website: • Substack: • Podcast: Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
