Practicums


  1. When is it recommended to sign up for Practicum 1? (Coaches and Therapists)

After you have completed RLT Level 1 from the first pillar, you can sign up for the first practicum, which focuses primarily on RLT Phase 1.

During the first 3 months, you will be training with RLT Level 1 to build your foundational knowledge, then see how Terry applies the model throughout the course of therapy in RLT Sessions Over Time. This is also when you develop your own relational skills with The Art of Relational Living. By month 4, we anticipate you’ll be ready to join Practicum 1, after which we recommend working through RLT Levels 2 & 3.


  1. When is it recommended to sign up for Practicum 2? (Coaches and Therapists)

After you have completed RLT Level 2 and 3 from the first pillar, you can sign up for the second practicum.

We recommend joining Practicum 2 around month 7. This is also an excellent time to join your first Couples Experiential to observe Terry’s sessions LIVE. We suggest taking The Relational Brain at this point to deepen your understanding of the neurobiology of RLT.


  1. When is it recommended to sign up for Practicum 3? (Therapists only)

After completing your first small group mentoring and presenting a successful case review, you become an RLT Certified Relational Coach—an exciting step on your path to becoming an RLT Certified Couples Therapist.

At this point, we anticipate that you’ll be ready to join your final practicum (lasting 6 weeks). We also encourage you to observe your second live Couples (or Men’s) Experiential with Terry and see how your understanding of the model has developed since your first.


  1. What is the format of the Practicums?

Virtual (Zoom) practical sessions in small groups (max. 10 people) facilitated by the RLT faculty. Time commitment for each practicum is 24 hours spread over 4-8 days of training. Different times and days are available for your convenience.
