Why are men afraid of women? The answer may surprise you.

Dr. Kate is joined by Dr. Avrum Weiss on this week's episode of Get Naked to discuss the ways that men's fear of intimacy may negatively impact their relationships with women.

Together, they unpack

• The deepseated root of fear of intimacy, starting from our childhood relationships

• The strain that fear can place on intimate relationships between men and women

• How men unconsciously identify their own fears of intimacy

• The role of the patriarchy when it comes to control

• Starting points to help men overcome fear of intimacy

and so much more.

Dr. Avrum Weiss is a psychologist, author, and speaker. He has written four books, the most recent “Hidden In Plain Sight: How Men’s Fears of Women Shape Their Intimate Relationships”.
