There are times in our lives when we lose people or situations that are dear to us, when we go through transitions and change, and when we have to leave things behind.
When these happen, we can feel a range of feelings that are stronger and more complicated than we’re used to — sadness, anger, hopelessness, shock… Or sometimes denial takes over and we feel nothing.
All of these feelings are part of the cycle of grief, which I talk about on today’s Man Alive podcast episode, with licensed marriage and family therapist and, certified Brainspotting practitioner and consultant, Perry Clark.
In this important conversation we discussed…
- What grief is — the cycles and how they show up
- The importance of listening to yourself
- The reality that sooner or later we all need someone to hold us
- Grief as an opportunity for new beginnings
- Why men don’t always deal with their grief
- Perry’s journey with his own grief, as a man who is both gay and black
Perry talks about grief in a way I want everyone to hear, especially men. Even I learned more about the cycles of grief and how we can care for ourselves in the midst.
When you’re done with this episode, check out July’s masterclass on Building Sexual Confidence and Stronger Connections With Women. I won’t offer this class live again this year, if ever.
You’ll learn the most important tool I teach to have intimacy and sex get more connected and exciting for the rest of your life. You’ll also learn…
- What to do post intimacy/sex, to ensure you haven’t created disconnection that lingers in future experiences
- How to talk about sensuality and sex in a way that isn’t awkward or forced
- The key to maintaining closeness and spark, rather than allowing it to fade.

Bio:
Growing up as a native of the SF bay, Perry has seen the technology advancements and shift from nature that the bay has gone through and its struggle to find a new balance. His journey mirrors this transformation, from a boy who was diagnosed with a learning disability that discourages growth, to an adult who graduated with a Bachelor in Creative Arts degree from San Jose State and a Master in Counseling Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology.
That accomplishment alone is not the only part of his identity nor challenges that he’s had to face on this path. As an African-American man, he has faced challenges of racism. And as a gay man, he has faced the challenges of homophobia. Yet it is through his spirituality that he found himself on the path that has led to the achievements that allow him to provide service in helping others find balance and growth in their lives.
Perry provided six years of service through CHAC and Cassy, where he was a school-based counselor for elementary, middle school, and high school students. In addition, he has worked through CHAC’s community clinic, providing counseling services to individuals, couples, adolescents, and groups.
Untangle and Grow is the next evolution on this path. In providing counseling services for people to find their own balance. This is with the hope of becoming untangled from the shadows that hold them and growing into the light.
