This presentation introduces Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a three-phase approach centered on awakening clients, confronting truth with compassion, and engaging in deep trauma work. It addresses power imbalances in couples by identifying “blatant” and “latent” roles, and emphasizes forming therapeutic alliances with clients’ wise adult selves. Key themes include relational mindfulness, empathy, managing grandiosity, and promoting systemic change for lasting relational transformation.
