Learn a New Framework For Infidelity

50% of people come to couples therapy due to some form of infidelity.

We see it in our offices frequently, yet it’s still an area that holds great doubt, uncertainty, and even fear for many therapists…

Facing the devastating trauma, deep betrayal, and shattered trust in the aftermath of an affair is a particularly stirring issue for us. Many of us have been touched by infidelity personally—in our own relationships or as children. 

Managing our own feelings and acting as a container for our clients’ emotions, while trying to constructively move them forward can be a steep challenge. 

But helping couples come back from an affair is also one of the most rewarding parts of couples therapy. 

It presents you with one of the biggest opportunities to bring about transformation—in each partner and the relationship as a whole. 

Too often, the focus is on restoring the old—often problematic—equilibrium. But the truth is, many couples manage to return to the old status quo on their own: two-thirds of couples survive infidelity… 

But in RLT, we strive for more.

We use the crisis of infidelity to make way for something completely new—a robust and healthy relationship where partners experience true intimacy like never before!

Join Terry Real, the creator of Relational Life Therapy (RLT), to discover a fresh approach to working with infidelity that moves beyond the traditional victim/perpetrator framework into one that builds hope and opportunity for real repair. 

Throughout five 90-minute classes, Terry will teach you the exact RLT framework he has used to help thousands of couples come back from infidelity with a stronger, healthier relationship than before. 

Our job as therapists is to do our best to ensure couples move beyond just weathering the storm of infidelity. We need to see if we can use the crisis to take their relationship to a new level of maturity and development.
