You’ve Helped Them Reconnect Before. But Now They’re Separating…
What Do You Do?
Terry Real first worked with our couple in 2023 across 8 sessions. A couple with two young children, who were on the brink of separation:
A wife who felt deeply alone in the marriage, carrying the burden of parenting.
A husband who struggled to balance the demands of a high-pressure job and family life.
Over those 8 sessions, what started as deep disconnection became joy and renewal, until…
Can you help us?”
How Is The Course Structured?
Terry Real is giving you an all-access pass to a full course of real-time therapy sessions (with LIVE Q&A). You’ll observe him work in-depth with one couple, using his RLT method.
The format is as follows:
Class 1
A recap of the original 8 sessions with our couple from 2023, followed by Q&A with Terry.
Classes 2-7
Therapy session: Class begins with a stream of Terry’s session with our couple (this is pre-recorded but unedited, so you’ll see everything in real-time).
LIVE Q&A:
Immediately after the session ends, you’ll join Terry for Q&A (roughly 30 mins). He’ll highlight particular aspects of the session, open the floor for your questions, and take you deeper into his thinking — why he did what he did and the RLT tools and interventions he used.
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 across the full arc of couples therapy.
