- 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 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.
