WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM THE RELATIONSHIP BOOTCAMP?

The Relationship Bootcamp takes place in person for two full days, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm each day.

You will learn essential skills from Relational Life Therapy (RLT)—the radically effective approach to relationship therapy created by internationally-recognized therapist and bestselling author, Terry Real. RLT is known for its ability to spark profound, lasting change in individuals and their relationships, and these skills will help you build and sustain meaningful connections.

You will learn through a combination of lecture, small group exercises, and personal reflections guided by the Relational Life Institute Faculty (senior RLT therapists trained by Terry Real.)

DISCOVER THE REAL WORK OF RELATIONSHIPS

We know that relationships take work, but few of us know what that work actually is…

The real work of relationships isn’t occasional, it’s minute-to-minute.

And this workshop will teach you those critical minute-to-minute skills that build and sustain true intimacy.

By the end of the two days, you’ll have the skills to:

  • Override your knee-jerk reactions in heated moments to navigate conflict calmly.
  • Break free from the losing strategies that block you from enjoying true intimacy.
  • Complain without blame and get more of what you want from your relationship.
  • Encourage, not discourage, your partner’s efforts, and celebrate progress.
  • Let go of the battle of who’s right and work together to find a solution.

Join us for this transformative workshop to learn the powerful relational skills you need to create the deeply connected relationship you yearn for.

WHO SHOULD JOIN?

The Relationship Bootcamp is suitable for:

  • Couples looking to strengthen their connection, improve communication, and sustain intimacy.
  • Individuals looking to overcome their barriers to intimacy and cultivate more meaningful relationships.
  • Mental health professionals looking to deepen their understanding of the RLT model.

How the Relationship Bootcamp Has Helped Others

Terry Real’s Boot Camp was life-changing for me and my husband. We’ve been together 30+ years so it’d be fair to wonder what would we possibly have to work on. My love-avoidant, grandiose man said this shifted our relationship to a deeper, more loving level; his love-dependent, grandiose wife agrees. The Boot Camp weekend opened up new ways to talk, to see ourselves and to love each other.

My wife and I both found RLI’s workshop to be exceptional, and well worth the time and effort to fly to Boston. I would recommend it highly, particularly to couples having communication problems. RLI’s approach is unique, but common sense, so it is easy to understand and, hopefully, to apply.

The couples work that you do is so valuable — we are relating now in a wholly new and expansive way. It’s what each of us knew we were missing but could not have found on our own. Thank you so much!

For therapists doing couples work, the Boot Camp is a great chance to see a compilation/distillation of RLT skills in action, plus a great way to do your own relational work. That last part was valuable beyond measure and has shaped my work as a therapist and partner in powerful ways.
