Navigating the Cycle of Harmony, Disharmony, and Repair
What Is Relational Life Therapy?
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a form of couples and relationship therapy that focuses on not only helping you communicate better but also understanding why you react the way you do and teaches you the ongoing skills you can use to navigate conflict and cherish your relationship long after your time in therapy.
RLT was developed by Terry Real, a psychotherapist, speaker, and author who specializes in relationship concerns. RLT helps you move out of your knee-jerk reactions into a more compassionate and collaborative part of yourself.
Our RLT-certified therapists can help you build a life of healthy assertion and compassionate connection to yourself and those you love.
Tried Everything Else Without Success?
Why Relational Life Therapy Is Your Missing Piece
If you’ve struggled to get to the root of the issue, feel you’re stuck in a battle of who’s right, or maybe one of you doesn’t see there’s an issue at all, RLT may be able to help where other therapies have struggled.
RLT therapists take a lovingly direct approach, working with you to identify your dysfunctional behavioral patterns—and how they combine. We’ll teach you how to move out of reactivity and into the part of you who wants to work on the relationship. You’ll also learn essential relational skills, including healthy listening & responding frameworks to de-escalate conflict and winning strategies to nurture your connection and cherish your partner.
If you’ve felt stuck in your relationship despite trying other approaches, RLT offers the direct, compassionate intervention that can get to the heart of the problem and equip you with the skills to sustain intimacy for life.
