THE FOUNDATIONS OF RELATIONAL LIFE THERAPY
Discover the Progressive Approach to
Couples Therapy That Will Give You the Skills to Confidently Transform Relationships
Join leading couples therapist Terry Real in The Foundations of Relational Life Therapy—the new 3-hour self-paced online course where you’ll learn the principles and techniques behind effective couples therapy.
Do you want to help couples build fulfilling relationships but feel unprepared for the complexities of couples therapy?
Perhaps you’re a therapist or coach who’s been helping individuals for some time and now feel the pull toward working with couples.
You recognize that relationships are essential to our well-being and happiness and want to help couples flourish, but perhaps you fear you don’t have the right skills to make a difference…
The truth is, couples therapy is uniquely challenging and requires a specific set of skills. And unfortunately, many of us were never taught these skills during our college degrees.
It’s not merely adding another person to the room, it’s an entirely different dynamic.
Suddenly, you’re not only managing one relationship but three. How do you make sure each partner feels supported and heard? What do you do when one partner is reluctant to engage? How do you manage the emotional intensity?
Entering into couples therapy without the necessary skills can feel like jumping into the deep end before you even know how to swim.
But there is a better way…
You can learn the skills to be confident and competent working with couples, so you feel excited rather than nervous about this fresh challenge.
Mastering these skills will set you up for an enriching, thriving career, helping people repair the most important relationships in their lives.
You just need the right teacher to help you get started…
That’s where Terry Real comes in. As one of the leading experts in the field, Terry has worked with couples for nearly 40 years and specializes in saving couples on the brink of separation using the progressive couples therapy approach he created, Relational Life Therapy (RLT).
Inside this training, Terry will personally guide you through the founding principles of RLT and the powerful tools he uses to help couples repair, restore, and revitalize their relationships.
You’ll come away with a clear understanding of what effective couples therapy looks like and several new tools you can begin exploring in your client sessions immediately.
Don’t let uncertainty hold you back any longer; take the next step in your career and explore effective ways of working with couples in The Foundations of Relational Life Therapy.

What Others Say About RLT
“I’ve done all kinds of trainings over the years but never found a model that truly fit for me. I had become “eclectic” in my approach, never really mastering any one approach. I longed for a model that encouraged me to be myself—open, authentic, and most importantly, effective. I found my home in RLT.
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!”
“You cannot provide this work for your clients without diving into your own personal growth.
Which then trickles into our own personal life and relationships that gives me permission to grow, hold myself accountable, see my children’s actions and perspectives change while we all challenge to love ourselves at the same time.
On a professional level, I have seen clients that have been stuck for years begin to move towards their authentic self with pride, dignity and confidence.”
— Stephanie Lott
“Before RLT I felt like something was missing as a therapist.
The things I was taught in school were not practical and I felt stuck in my practice. I’m so grateful for the experiences I have had with the RLT training. I now see relationships in a way that finally makes sense to me and I have more confidence working with couples because I have something that is realistic and I believe works and more importantly my clients are able to grasp and practice.”
