As you might know, community is the cornerstone of everything we do.
After launching the year with three Bootcamps, a Community Conversation, hosting our new course ‘Relationship Revival’, and launching Sliding Scale RLT services — we took a step back from the spotlight to turn toward cultivating the personal relationships that make our work thrive.
We’re eager to share what we’ve been building, and think you’ll be excited about the opportunities we have in store for you.
RLT Bootcamp Training

Check out this beautiful group of inspired humans!
We joined Relational Life Institute’s recent training of over 60 new Bootcamp Facilitators! Among them there was a thrilling amount of enthusiasm for the Foundation’s mission and vision. Some are participating in our research, some will be offering their first Bootcamps through our Foundation, and some are connecting us with their local communities to broaden the impact and reach of our offerings!
In collaboration with these incredible leaders, we will be bringing new programs for relational healing to you and your communities!

Research Advances in Relational Life Therapy
We’re currently conducting three key studies, each aimed at establishing Relational Life Therapy (RLT) as an evidence-based treatment recognized by the APA. We now have a strong cohort of rigorously trained RLT therapists ready to demonstrate significant improvements in relationship satisfaction.
- Couples Therapy Outcome Study: This research will highlight the effectiveness of RLT interventions in improving couple functioning.
- Therapist Training Outcome Study: We aim to prove the superiority of our therapist training program and identify the most effective aspects of our methods.
- RLT Relationship Grid Study: We aim to validate Terry Real's innovative Relationship Grid, enhancing its clinical utility and strengthening RLT's evidence base.
Stay tuned for groundbreaking insights that could revolutionize couple therapy practices!
