- Short Description:
- This workshop presents an intensive, truth-driven approach to saving marriages through Relational Life Therapy. It introduces the concept of psychological patriarchy—structured around the great divide, the dance of contempt, and core collusion—and outlines how therapists can disrupt these dynamics by fostering accountability, intimacy, and new relational skills. The focus is on deep repair, often in couples who have failed in previous therapies, with an emphasis on competence rather than gender.

- Short Description:
- We’ve never wanted more from our romantic relationships but both men and women—in different ways and for different reasons—lack the skills to meet our new ambitions. What do men and women want from each other? Why are relationships so fraught? And how can we be more effective as clinicians? The nature of marriage has changed and therapists must meet challenges unique to our new landscape.

- Short Description:
- Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy ™ deals with the most stuck, most intractable cases by dealing squarely with issues of character. His Relationship Bootcamp begins with this slogan: “Other Workshops Teach You Skills: We Deal With the Part of You That Won’t Use Them.” WHAT you do matters less than WHICH PART OF YOU is at the wheel—the mature, present part of you, or an immature, triggered part of you. “We teach individuals in couples how to be relational—changing each individual’s character as we change the relationship between them.”

- Short Description:
- This workshop addresses the often-overlooked crisis of male depression, affecting an estimated 11 million men. It examines how cultural stigma and rigid gender roles contribute to covert depression—masked by workaholism, substance use, withdrawal, and anger. The session introduces the concept of "compound depression," where men feel ashamed of their vulnerability. Strategies include therapy, medication, peer support, partner involvement, and building relational skills to break the silence and promote healing.
