Witness How RLT Couples Therapy Evolves Over Time to Transform Relationships…
Terry Real is giving you an all-access pass to 8 LIVE therapy sessions as he works in-depth with one couple, using the therapy method he created, Relational Life Therapy (RLT).
As you know, couples therapy is complex and rarely resolved in one session. This is your rare opportunity to get a real-time, unedited look at how one of the world’s leading couples therapists guides one couple from fractured disconnection to fierce intimacy.
You’ll witness everything: from the initial session where relational stances are diagnosed to deep trauma work to understand how they formed. You’ll see Terry move the couple into vulnerability and connection—and hold them in that space.
Finally, you’ll see how he teaches the couple the skills they need to sustain that connection long after their time in therapy.
… And Discover The Techniques Behind the Transformation
After each session, you’ll join Terry and your fellow observers for 45 minutes of Q&A to discuss what happened.
Terry will explain what he was thinking at different points and why he did what he did. Plus, you can ask him questions directly to deepen your understanding of the work.
This combination of observation and Q&A will give you a thorough understanding of the RLT model, how it translates in the therapy room, and—most importantly—a clear idea of how to use these techniques in your own sessions.

RLT is known for producing profound, lasting results in rapid time. You may have seen the deeply moving breakthroughs that happen in Terry’s Couples Experiential—but here you will see how a relationship transforms over the course of therapy.
You’ll move beyond the initial session and see how to guide them through different challenges, work with resistance, hold them in connection, and teach them the skills they need to sustain lifelong intimacy.

How Observing Terry’s LIVE Sessions Has Helped Your Colleagues
“I enjoyed that it was more than one or two sessions. There was an arc and I wish more trainings were like this. It reminded me of the show “Couples Therapy” on Showtime in that we see a storyline play out versus one-hit-wonder moments.”
— Kelly Lafferman
I learned the most about being more honest about my observations in a way that had impact and yet not offensive. Noticing the nuances of what to attend to and let go of. Also, fine tuning some of the observational language.
— Sherry Courtney
I have been doing couple’s work for 23+ years. It is never easy and always a challenge. I started my journey learning from Terry Real and I am STILL learning and growing! Terry’s work is SO IMPORTANT if not imperative and should never be missed if you also want to do couple’s therapy. I recommend 100%, so, so fantastic and NOT JUST MORE theory, but you learn INTERVENTIONS!!!
— Dr. Fallynn C. Cox
Rarely does a therapist have the ability to get to the heart of a matter quickly. Incorporating fierce honesty, deep listening, compassion, and a way forward, Terry shares insights and wisdom from beyond. After he worked with each couple, it felt like a little piece of suffering was lifted from the universe.
— Christine King
Instead of hearing how to do therapy, the Couple’s Experiential provided the opportunity to watch Terry Real, a master therapist, work with four couples who were on the brink of divorce. It was an exquisite opportunity to see Real Life Therapy in action. As a result of attending, I will hold my clients in a more loving space while having specific goals and caring far less about outcome. I found it life changing!
— Janet M Congo
I learned so much from observing Terry and then being able to debrief with him over lunch and at the end of each day. Very powerful, very educational, very comprehensive. It’s well worth the time and money. I plan to attend again. Thank you Terry!
— Cindy Hastert
It is a wonder to watch Terry work… The mix of challenge, support and empathy is quite breathtaking. Finally, the meetings with the Observer group was enriching, often moving. All in all, just what a great educational experience should be.
— Mary Anne Lushe, LMSW, LMFT.
