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…

One year later, Terry receives this email from the husband: 
“My wife wants a divorce. I want to make this work.
Can you help us?”
Terry took it on. And so began 6 more sessions of deep work. Those 6 sessions are what you will explore in this course…
You’ll come together each week to watch an unedited pre-recorded session before you join Terry for LIVE Q&A to dive deep into the work. 
You’ll see how he navigates every twist and turn from confronting grandiosity with skill, empowering the disempowered to stand up with love, bringing them back into a team mindset, reconnecting to love, joy, and true intimacy.

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.

What You'll Learn

As you observe each session and spend time learning directly from Terry, you’ll discover how to address issues of:

Resentment

Parenting Imbalance

Betrayal

Avoidance

Grandiosity

Emotional Shutdown

Who is It For?
