Questions About the RLT Modality

  1. Is Relational Life Therapy trauma-informed? 

The RLT model is trauma-informed, but is NOT a trauma treatment. The focus is on relational recovery and healing interpersonal trauma from childhood experiences.  If there is a specific checklist of standard for trauma-informed therapy, RLT may or may not fit the description.


  1. Does Relational Life Therapy include any subconscious reprogramming or neuroscience techniques?

RLT is informed by neuroscience and includes a course on this, called The Relational Brain.  RLT does not use subconscious reprogramming, rather very conscious and intentional shifts in behavior to become more relational.


  1. What is RLT’s philosophy when working with substance, sexual, technology addictions?

These types of addictions are what we call preconditions. They must be adequately dealt with in order for RLT couple therapy to proceed. A therapist trained in those modalities might deal with it themselves, otherwise we refer out, generally to treatment programs.
