Lesson 5: Joining Through
The Truth In Action
In this final lesson, you’ll watch what “Joining Through The Truth” looks like in a real couples session, and how Terry tells the hard truth in a way that brings the client closer instead of pushing them into shame.
The art of RLT is telling the truth in a way that’s loving and accurate enough to land.
In the RLT Certification, you’ll learn to bypass the Adaptive Child and speak to the Wise Adult, so clients move toward accountability instead of defense.

Applying isn’t a commitment to enroll. If you meet the requirements, we’ll invite you to an informal 1:1 call to talk through the pathway that fits you best.

About RLT Certification
“My practice has grown exponentially since I completed my RLT certification.”
“RLT has changed my life personally and professionally. I did not think my partner and I would still be together. That’s not a small thing. And now, my practice has grown exponentially since I completed my RLT certification. It’s pretty difficult to see me, which I feel really grateful for.
Anybody can teach skills. What RLT therapists do is teach skills and then look at the part of you that doesn’t want to use them, or isn’t using them well, and why.”

"I don't think I would understand RLT the way I understand it if it wasn't for the practicums.”
“In the small group mentoring, getting feedback on what I presented, but also hearing their perspective on everyone's presentation was really powerful and helpful.
It was also just really lovely to feel a sense of community that we would establish in those small groups of working together all the time. It was great."

“It changed my practice, my life – and I would highly recommend it.”
“I’m the first Pakistani to be certified as an RLT practitioner. I’m very proud of that. It changed me as a therapist and as a human being. I became more confident. I started working from a very honest, open space – joining from the truth, not being attached to the outcome. That was a moment of liberation.
It’s a soft, sweet, and simple methodology – and it gets to the root cause very quickly.”

"I feel great about the work I'm doing with couples.”
“For most of my couples, their course of therapy is between six months to two years. Whereas before some couples I would be seeing for like up to five years and still not really feeling like the strong tangible results were there."

“My practice was already very successful, but since RLT certification, it's skyrocketed.”
“I had to close my practice to new clients. It's also allowed me to be more selective about the clients that I work with. And I'm re-energized by the work: I used to be worn out working with couples, but now I love it. Success and making a difference is a powerful antidote to burnout!”

“The practical and positive approach of RLT has helped my clients see change almost immediately.”
“By weaving past trauma and its impact on relationships and by building new skills together, my clients have expressed new deep and meaningful connections. RLT is not just a training program, it is a community that works in unity to offer ongoing support to therapists as well as clients.”
