Have You Ever Wondered if You Could Achieve the Same Results With RLT as Terry Real?
Then you don’t want to miss the upcoming two-day Couples Experiential.
For the first time ever, watch two senior RLT therapists, Cathy Hill and Julie Rudiger, work in tandem to guide four couples closer to connection. You’ll get a real-time, inside look at how they do it—and how you can do it, too.
Perhaps you’ve seen Terry’s powerful one-shot interventions before, and now you get to see how two highly experienced therapists apply RLT to their own styles of therapy.
You’ll leave having witnessed transformations that previously might have seemed impossible.
And, as a result of the Q&A, you’ll understand how it was able to happen, which will help you strengthen your own work with couples.
Whether you’re a seasoned couples therapist or new to RLT, don’t miss this unique opportunity to get an inside look at other therapist’s sessions to bring fresh perspectives to your own work.
How the Couples Experiential Works
The Couples Experiential takes place entirely online over Zoom for two full days. There are two elements of the workshop:
Observation
This is where you will observe Cathy and Julie working in-depth with each of our four couples one at a time (spending up to two hours per couple). Then watch as they encourage the other couples to engage and provide feedback to the couple who has just done their work.
During this portion of the workshop, you will remain on mute and not participate in the sessions.
Q&A
❗12 CE credits are available for an additional $40 if you attend the two days LIVE and in full.
What You’ll Learn
In this immersive two-day workshop, you will watch two senior RLT therapists interact and intervene LIVE with four couples to bring a fresh perspective to your own work.
You will:
- Observe how two experienced therapists apply Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy model to their own therapeutic style.

What Your Colleagues Have to Say
It was my first time joining the Couples Experiential. I am still impressed to see how a theory (the relational approach) enters the reality of couples and transforms it quietly. I also loved how this was embedded in a really smart teaching choreography, and for this especially the constant line and authentic mode of reflections within the dialogue.
– Dr. habil. Antje Schneider, scientist in the field of Intercultural Communication and Systemic Counselor (on the Couples Experiential with Terry Real)
This is my second observation of a couples intensive and it was amazing to see Des do the RLT work I’ve come to know through Terry. Gives me hope that it is transferable and not solely a function of Terrys talent and skills. Also seeing different couples with their own stances and dynamics help to generalize the work. Thanks you for another inspirational couple days.
Meet Your Teachers
Cathy Hill and Julie Rudiger are senior members of the RLI faculty, responsible for training professionals worldwide in Relational Life Therapy.
Cathy Hill, PhD, Licensed Psychologist in British Columbia, Canada
I’ve been training with Terry since 2010 and learn more every time I teach the concepts. RLT is an incredibly rich and powerful mode of therapy and I’m proud to be involved with its expansion.
In order to help with that I’m also the Director of Research at the Relational Life Foundation, where we are working on getting RLT evidence-based.
Julie Rudiger, LCSW, Private Practice, Denver, Co area
I have been a licensed therapist since 1993 and was introduced to Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy in 2008. I became certified in 2010, and since then, my practice and personal life has transformed. I love the value of Full Respect Living, which is the tenet of RLT.
Teaching clients and therapists the model remains the central focus of my practice. I love the role of “coach” in teaching the skills. Most couples and individuals just need the education and tools to better care for themselves and their partners and families. I am also co-leader of the Relationship Boot Camp in Denver, whereby we help individuals and couples learn the skills in a 2 day intensive workshop.

What is Relational Life Therapy?
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) combines the most effective techniques from multiple therapies to create a state-of-the-art, integrated method to powerfully heal relationships. RLT breaks many of the rules of traditional therapy to go deep quickly and help clients make rapid and significant changes.
Using a range of powerful diagnostic and transformative tools, RLT helps people to first reconnect to themselves—their feelings, needs, and desires—to build a stronger, more intimate connection with their partner.
