Can you help the couple who's lost all hope?

They've come to you because they're out of options. They've tried everything. This is their last shot.

You need a powerful approach that works ... and works quickly.

Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a unique couples therapy approach refined over 30 years by bestselling author Terry Real. RLT creates an atmosphere of intense truth-telling and zeros in with speed, sensitivity, and clarity on the relationship patterns that stand in the way of change. Integrating empathic joining, inner child work, confrontation, and humour, RLT instils hope in discouraged partners and leads them toward the experience of shared vulnerability that's essential to emotional healing.

As Richard Schwartz, originator of Internal Family Systems, says, "RLT helps reawaken couples who seem trapped in a long-term stalemate and allows them to move toward growth and fuller Selfhood."

In this Master Class, you get a front-row seat to a clinical session with Terry Real, originator of RLT.
Watch Terry in session with Nancy and Dan, a couple on the brink of separation, as he guides them from emotional standoff to vibrant reconnection. Learn to identify behaviours that keep partners stalemated and gain the leverage to help them change. Discover the secret to jump-starting compassion and reigniting affection. You'll witness Dan and Nancy experience a dramatic turnaround you won't forget.

And as in all our Master Classes, we'll break away to examine the how and why of what's happening in the session and Terry will share the thinking behind his moment-to-moment clinical choices.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn the RLT approach for last-chance couples directly from Terry Real, relationship expert for Good Morning America and ABC News.

Reconnecting Men and Women (Scribner), and most recently The New Rules of Marriage: What You Need to Make Love Work (Random House). Terry knows how to lead couples on a step-by-step journey to greater intimacy — and greater personal fulfilment.

A senior faculty member of the Family Institute of Cambridge in Massachusetts and a retired Clinical Fellow of the Meadows Institute in Arizona, Terry has worked with thousands of individuals, couples, and fellow therapists. Through his books, the Institute, and workshops around the country, Terry helps women and men, parents and non-parents, to help them create the connection they desire in their relationships.

The New York Times book review described Terry's work as: "A critical contribution to feminist psychology (that) brings the Men's movement a significant step forward." Robert Bly hailed it as "moving onto new ground in both story and song. Exhilarating in its honesty."

Terry's Relational Life Institute grew out of his extensive and empathic experience.
