Can you help the couple who’s lost all hope?

They’ve come to you because they’re out of options. They’ve tried everything. This is their last shot.

You need a powerful approach that works … and works quickly.

Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a unique couples therapy approach refined over 30 years by bestselling author Terry Real. RLT creates an atmosphere of intense truth-telling and zeros in with speed, sensitivity, and clarity on the relationship patterns that stand in the way of change. Integrating empathic joining, inner child work, confrontation, and humor, RLT instills hope in discouraged partners and leads them toward the experience of shared vulnerability that’s essential to emotional healing.

As Richard Schwartz, originator of Internal Family Systems, says, “RLT helps reawaken couples who seem trapped in a long-term stalemate and allows them to move toward growth and fuller Selfhood.”
