This talk examines the global rise of patriarchy and its impact on intimate relationships, highlighting how anti-relational culture contributes to high failure rates in long-term partnerships. The speaker presents Relational Life Therapy (RLT) as a solution, built on three phases: loving confrontation, trauma work, and skill-building. Emphasizing the need to teach relational skills in schools, the approach addresses both individual challenges—like grandiosity and shame—and broader systemic influences to build healthier, more connected relationships.
