“Instead of hearing how to do therapy, the Couple’s Experiential provided the opportunity to watch Terry Real, a master therapist, work with four couples who were on the brink of divorce. It was an exquisite opportunity to see Real Life Therapy in action. As a result of attending, I will hold my clients in a more loving space while having specific goals and caring far less about outcome. I found it life changing!”

But A year later, Terry received an email from the husband:
“My wife wants a divorce. I want to make this work. Can you help us?”
She was out. Lawyers were involved. She’d given up hope her husband would ever change.
Their case was one of the bleakest prospects Terry had seen in his 40-year career. But he took it on.
What followed was six more sessions of deep work to save them once again.

More About Our Couple
The couple you’ll observe in RLT Sessions Over Time could easily be sitting in your office.
A professional couple in their thirties with two young children, and on the brink of separation.
Their story mirrors what so many couples face – the daily erosion of connection beneath the surface of busy lives…
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.
Her dissatisfaction met his defensiveness; his grandiosity met her withdrawal.
He believed things would naturally improve once the kids were older.
Meanwhile, his wife had one foot out of the door.
The issues they faced are the bread and butter of relational work: grandiosity, resentment, love avoidance, emotional shutdown, and parenting imbalance.
The result is the kind of dynamic every therapist recognizes — two good people trapped in a painful pattern.
And in RLT Sessions Over Time you’ll watch every step on the road to breaking free from the pain and building a deeply connected relationship.
