Building an intimate, meaningful relationship that lasts is a challenge for anyone. But for gay men who have grown up without the support of their families and communities, it can be the challenge of a lifetime. With warmth and compassion, therapist Rik Isensee draws on his work with hundreds of gay couples to help men face leftover shame and fears that can undermine relationships, and build essential skills for finding and keeping an authentic long-term love founded on trust and intimacy.
