aka The Essential Skills Workshop

We have been authorized by Terry Real to teach his RLT Relationship Bootcamp in communities!
We are bringing this service to underprivileged populations at an affordable rate on a sliding scale.

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN TO:

• Be connected and protected in relationships
• Use the Five Losing Strategies™
• Practice the Five Winning Strategies™
• Develop healthy listening and responding skills
• Identify where they get stuck the most with their (current or past) partner and learn new ways of getting unstuck
• ALL Individuals and Couples, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, abilities, religion, culture, age, sexuality and financial means are welcome
• Come either on your own or with a partner.

THERAPISTS WHO ATTEND WILL LEARN:

• The skills necessary to teach couples how to assess losing strategies and how to move to the winning strategies
• How to teach the practice of self esteem and to use protective/containing boundaries to be connected and protected in relationships
• How to give some (often women) the tools of relational empowerment to be more lovingly assertive, and others (often men) the tools of relational reawakening, so they can learn to open up and show up

THERAPISTS PLEASE NOTE: Therapists who attend for RLT Certification will come to participate not just observe.  Please consult the Instructor about CEU availability.

Participant Testimonials

“I have found that most couples really want a relationship that works for both people and they have no idea how to make that happen. Once they learn that implementing a set of learned skills can achieve their goal, the majority of couples are willing to do things differently.  They become empowered to change!”
J.G., Dallas, TX


“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.”
Sarah P., Portland, OR

“After completing the Skills Workshop, we went home and spent an evening relaying everything we could recall with some dear friends. To this day – two years later – they still maintain that sharing our experience with them literally saved their marriage.”
Lyn and David L.

“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.”
A.M., Toronto

“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.”
Sarah P.

“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!”
Tod, Boston, MA
